(1) Nominal thickness will be achieved by laminating two thinner glass panes of the same thickness to achieve the nominal
thickness.
(2) Refer to Table B-1 for applicable standoff distances.
(3) Enter ASTM F 2248 with the applicable explosive weight and the actual standoff distance achieved to determine the
equivalent 3-second duration design loading.
(4) Calculate the required laminated glass thickness for this pane by subtracting 3mm (1/8") from the thickness determined by
ASTM E 1300.
(5) For this window, enter ASTM F 2248 with explosive weight I at a standoff distance of 45m (148') to determine the equivalent
3-second duration design loading. The laminated glass thickness selected for this design loading may then be used at the 25m
(82') conventional construction standoff distance.
(6) For this window, enter ASTM F 2248 with explosive weight II at the 10m (33') conventional construction standoff distance to
determine the equivalent 3-second duration design loading.
(7) For standoff distances greater than the conventional construction standoff distance, lesser interlayer thicknesses may be
allowable based on analysis, but they shall not be less than 0.75 mm (0.030")
(8) Conventional construction standoff distance = minimum standoff distance.

(1) Nominal thickness will be achieved by laminating two thinner glass panes of the same thickness to achieve the nominal
thickness.
(2) Refer to Table B-1 for applicable standoff distances.
(3) Glass thickness is the same for interior and exterior panes.
(4) Interlayer is within the inboard pane only as a minimum.
(5) For this window, enter ASTM F 2248 with explosive weight I at a standoff distance of 45m (148') to determine the equivalent
3-second duration design loading. The glass thickness selected for both panes of the IGU for this design loading may then be
