Form
|
Glass spirals are produced in many geometric forms. Among them are the classic forms round
as well as square, rectangular or triangular. A characteristic of all glass spirals is the wound glass rod that
continues circularly in longitudinal direction. Different pitches can be realized, as well as different
diameters and wall thicknesses. |

ㆍ
|
Up to now, we have realized the following shapes |
|
ㆍ
|
Round, oval |
|
ㆍ
|
Square, rectangular |
|
ㆍ
|
Triangular |
|
ㆍ
|
Hexagon |

It is the inner diameter of the spirals that counts; it can lie between 2 mm and 20 mm. With the employment of new tools, larger diameters are also possible.
The diameter of the coiled rod may be from very thin up to very thick, which depends on the diameter and lead of the spiral. |

Material
|
Borosilicate glass is a high-quality glass. it is of high chemical resistance and easy to reshape. Borosilicate
glass is resistant to thermal shocks and transparent. Further information about specific characteristics you can find
in our technical data sheets |

Characteristics
|
The flexibility of glass spirals and springs is really astounding. Because of their wall thickness and shape,
they are easy to bend and knot. This also works with large diameters. Glass spirals achieve a really high flexibility
for a glass. You can both compress and stretch them. These qualities are influenced by the thread
and diameter of the rod. |
