Definitions for "Glass Fiber"
See fiberglass reinforcement.
a very thin fiber made of glass that functions as a waveguide for light; used in bundles to transmit images
A manufactured fiber in which the fiber-forming substance is glass. These fibers are incombustible and can tolerate heat up to 1000° F. The fabric is, however, brittle and fracture points may develop.
Proper reference to a fibrous material made from glass that is commonly used as a filter and separator medium. May be used in blanket or tube form and, due to the random dispersal of the fibbers, makes good filter medium. Are hydrophilic (water wettable) and perform the function of coalescing immicible liquids for separation. May be used effectively on compressed air, gas or liquids which are acidic but only slightly caustic. Also referred to as fibreglass or Fiberglas.
glass in fibrous form that has cooled to a rigid condition without crystallizing.
Glass in a strand form. The ingredients are essentially the same that go into any glass product such as a window pane or drinking glass.
