Entrez les dimensions et le facteur de sécurité pour calculer l'épaisseur minimale du verre (mm) résistant à la pression de l'eau. Outil essentiel pour les aquariums DIY.
Thicker glass withstands water pressure better. Thin glass can bow or crack under pressure. Larger tanks need thicker glass. Safety factor accounts for stress concentration and safety margin.
A safety factor of 1.5-2.0 is standard for aquariums. This accounts for stress concentration, manufacturing defects, and safety margin. Higher safety factors are better for large tanks or high-pressure applications.
This calculator uses engineering formulas for glass stress. Actual requirements depend on glass quality, edge condition, and support. For large tanks, consult a structural engineer.
Standard float glass is common for aquariums. Tempered glass is stronger but cannot be cut. Acrylic is lighter but scratches easily. Choose based on tank size and your needs.
Use proper support under the entire tank base. Avoid sudden temperature changes. Don't place heavy objects on the tank. Use a quality stand designed for your tank size. Inspect glass regularly for cracks.
