TRACTION TEST OF MOSAIC TESSERAE

Testing was carried out using electronic dynamometer model “TC/1000 Ats Faar”, with a speed interval of 0,1-500 mm/min, interfaced by a computer. Loading cell, maximum range 5350 N, definition 2,5 N.

- Detachment from steel support: 13,9 MPa - speed 5 mm/min. - Breakage of the casted glass: 11,6 MPa - speed 5 mm/min.

ACCELERATED AGEING TEST ON MOSAIC TESSERAE

TECHNICAL DATA GOLD & PLATINUM A) ACCELERATED AGEING UV/CONDENSATION TEST Test carried out by means of a series of cycles of irradiation with fluorescent UV Lamps 40 W and condensation over 168 hours. Mosaic tesserae conditions after the test: No damage B) BOILING TEST Test carried out by immersing the tiles in deionised water for a period of 3 minutes at a temperature of 60° c, then a 2 hour immersion in boiling water, after cooling the tiles are examined for separation of the glass layers, bubbles and various other defects. Mosaic tesserae conditions after the test: No damage C) THERMAL CYCLES TEST Testing is carried out in a climatic chamber to performe the cycle: - 4 hours at -20°c - 4 hours at +80°c for a total period of 168 hours. At the end of the test, eventual damage is noted as follows: glass delamination, bubbles appearance and various other defects. (Istituto Giordano - Bellaria Rimini - Italy)
