The damage to a roof resulting from expansion and contraction which are the result of sudden extreme temperature changes. Thermal Shock often occurs when a cold rain shower suddenly cools a roof during a hot day.
A cycle of temperature swings that result in failure of metal due to expansion and contraction.
The effect on early ceramics of sudden temperature change. Fill an 18th century teapot with boiling water without warming it, and it will crack. Generally, the various earthen components of a pot expanded or contracted at different rates of speed when subjected to sudden thermal change. The results can sometimes be seen on tavern mugs as well, owing to the popularity of hot mulled cider, made hot by the sudden submersion of a red-hot poker in the drink.
A reference to materials shock from heat. Too rapid of heating or cooling past the strain point temperature of glass causes thermal strains and cracking.
Effect of excessive heating and cooling rates of components, especially those with a multilayer ceramic structure. A typical recommended maximum heating/cooling rate for such components is 2°C per second.
A building materials reaction to rapid changes in temperature.
An abrupt temperature change applied to a device.
is the rapid change in temperature from hot to cold or cold to hot. Thermal shock can cause certain stones to crack during the plating process.
Represents severe stress on and/or changes in a roof membrane resulting from sudden fluctuations in temperature (i.e.: a pelting rain storm followed by intense sunshine.)
An environmental exposure used to prove out a design involving taking an instrument from an environment at one temperature and putting it into an environment with a very different temperature.
Ware that has cracked after removing it from the kiln. Usually caused by removing ware while it's too hot.
An abrupt temperature change applied to the device.
Stress created within a ceramic body caused by a rapid and dramatic change in temperature.
The volume change in a material that results from a sudden shift in temperature.
The cause by a sudden shift of temperature hot or cold causing the glass to break, crack or shatter.
The effect of heat or cold applied at such a rate that nonuniform thermal expansion or contraction occurs within a given material or combination of materials. The effect can cause inserts and other insulation materials to pull away from metal parts.
Sudden changes which occur in a clay or glaze which causes damage, usually through sudden heating or cooling.
A test to determine the ability of a material to withstand heat and cold by subjecting it to rapid and wide changes in temperature.
The stresses created within a ceramic object by sudden temperature change; may cause wares to crack.
The stress built up by sudden and appreciable changes in temperature.
In roofing, a stress-produced phenomenon resulting from sudden temperature changes in the roof membrane, when, for example, a cold rain shower follows brilliant sunshine.
Glass breakage caused by rapid or uneven heating or cooling.
the stress produced when materials are subject to sudden changes in temperature
The stress-producing phenomenon resulting from sudden temperature changes in a roof membrane when, for example, a cold rain shower follows brilliant, hot sunshine, which may result in sudden cooling or rapid contraction of the membrane.
The amount of temperature differential that can be withstood by glass when subjected to a rapid change. Heating the glass to a specific temperature and then exposing to a cooler temperature, usually ice water, verifies the specific rating. Strengthened glass, whether heat-treated or chemically strengthened, significantly improves the rating over annealed glass.
refers to extreme temperature change, usually caused by removing fired pieces too soon from the kiln.
The disruption of a ceramic article by stresses set up due to differences in temperature in different parts of the article.
When glass is exposed to high temperatures, it absorbs heat and expands. At the same time, its edges remain cooler, causing thermal stress.
Ceramic ware; pottery will burst or fracture if it is heated or cooled too rapidly. This is called thermal shock.
Stress developed by rapid and uneven heating of a material.
Thermal shock is the name given to cracking as a result of rapid temperature change. Glass and ceramic objects are particularly vulnerable to this form of failure, due to their low toughness, low thermal conductivity, as well as their high-melting point (which often leads to their use in high-temperature applications.)
