Question

When wire glass is hit, it prevents pieces of glass from falling or spreading after breaking. Wire glass contains:

• A. a network of steel wire
• B. a sheet of nylon net
• C. cobalt
• D. a sheet of fibre glass

Answer 1

The correct option is A a network of steel wire

• Wire glass is a common sight in schools, businesses, and hotels across the nation. It is manufactured primarily as a fire retardant, with wire mesh inlaid in the glass to prevent it from shattering and breaking out under stress or when exposed to high temperatures.
  
• Steel wire mesh is placed in the glass during the manufacturing process. The wire mesh acts as a reinforcement. If the glass breaks due to impact, the pieces of glass are held by wire reinforcement in position.
  
• Hence option A is correct answer.
