Lead Glass
protects against X-rays and gamma rays in the medical and technical field. In research works it also provides necessary safety screening.
DESAG RD 50â is an extra dense flint glass. Its protective effect is
based on its high content of heavy metallic oxides of nearly
70 per cent by weight. The lead oxide content alone is more
than 65 per cent by weight. Therefore, a density of above
5.05 g/cm3 is reached, so that relatively small thicknesses fulfil
all legal safety regulations. Radiation shielding glass DESAG RD 50â
meets the requirements of DIN 6841. The protective capacity
of a radiation shielding glass for X-rays is indicated by the
lead equivalent, either in relation of lead thickness to glass
thickness in per cent or in mm Pb.

The subsequent properties are based primarily upon the measuring results of the very latest standards and measuring methods, which are defined in corresponding “Measuring and Test Procedures”.
SCHOTT DESAG retains the right to change the data in keeping with the latest technical standards. Non-tolerance numerical values are reference values of an average production quality.
Values marked with à do not apply to the type of glass or no values are available. Requirements deviating from these specifications must be defined in writing in a customer agreement.
Lead Glasses are Sold in Lead Coated Metal Cased Sets. Glass cases are electrostatic painted and are covered with 2-6 mm thick lead from inside. Glass Case Steel Thickness is 2mm.
