dimensions were 50" x 68". The laminated glass tested
was 9/16"SAF-GLAS
annealed.
The
window was tested by Wilfred Baker Engineering using its large shock
tube to apply a nominal blast load having a peak pressure of ten
psi and a duration of 22 msec. the response of the window was documented
and graded according to the GSA Window Hazard Classification System
