Glass fragments
Glass fragments
(OP)
I am looking for the approximate size of glass fragments from a light bulb which exploded. This light bulb was over a pool and the fragments are not easily retrievable. However, I am concerned about them going through our strainers in the pool. The strainer removes particles of 5mm or larger in size.
I realize that any size is feasible, but what size is realistic?
Any references would be great as well. (I am nuclear and don't get into these kind of questions very much :)
Thanks in advance,

RE: Glass fragments
Might this be a question best answered by a little experiment on your part?

Because of "static fatigue" in a water envirnoment, the glass fragments will likely get smaller over time.
