ABSTRACT:
A simple accelerated weathering test was used to evaluate the relative weatherability of glasses which are being considered for use in solar heliostats. Glasses were exposed to 98-1001 humidity at temperatures ranging from 40 to 80QC for periods of one to four weeks. Under these

conditions, low-iron float glass exhibits severe surface corrosion. which occurs predominantly on the tin poor surface. This result indicates that silvering the tin-poor surface will increase the weatherability of mirror made from this glass. CGW-0317 fusion glass exhibits no detectable signs of surface corrosion.
