National Building Code India 2016: Glass Type Matching

The question requires matching glass types from Group-I with their descriptions in Group-II based on the National Building Code of India 2016.

Matching Glass Types

Let's analyze each type:

  • P: Reflective glass is characterized by a metallic coating that reflects solar radiation, reducing heat gain and glare while permitting visible light. This corresponds to description 4.
  • Q: Tempered fire-resistant glass, specifically the tempered aspect, refers to glass that breaks into small, granular fragments upon impact or thermal stress, minimizing injury. This matches description 5.
  • R: Insulating glass units (IGUs) consist of two or more glass panes sealed together with a spacer, creating a pre-fabricated unit designed for thermal insulation. This aligns with description 1.
  • S: Wired glass has a wire mesh embedded within the glass during manufacturing, providing safety by holding fragments together if broken. This is described by description 2.

Final Matches

The correct pairings are:

  • P – 4
  • Q – 5
  • R – 1
  • S – 2

This corresponds to the selection P – 4, Q – 5, R – 1, S – 2.

Group–I Description Match Group–II Description
P Reflective glass 4 Glass with metallic coating reducing heat gain and glare and allowing optimum visible light transmission inside
Q Tempered fire-resistant glass 5 Glass that breaks into granular fragments, with no large sharp edges
R Insulating glass units 1 Prefab unit of glass having an edge seal that binds the individual sheets together
S Wired glass 2 Glass into which a wire mesh is embedded during production
