Tempered Glass Strength

[pomkon]

I want to put a Monitor with a flat wide stand on top of my View 71 Tempered glass. It weights about 5.5kg. I cant find any info on how much weight those 5mm glass can take. The glass is supported by 4 screw points. Are all tempered glass equal? Does anyone know?

I personally wouldn't risk it

Do you know what the make of the stand is? That will most likely have the weight limits on it, or at least on a spec sheet somewhere. 

 

However, bearing in mind that the glass is only 5mm thick, I would say that it won't be able to hold it safely. 

 

Edit: Never mind. I've just put the rough size of the glass into a tempered glass weight calculator and it recommends that 2kg is the maximum amount that it can handle.

i have varois small stuff on it before, i think they added up to 2kg

i have this ikea vittsjo laptop stand with tempered glass on top, its rated at 15kg

 

2kg just seems to weak, a very slight midhandling would break the glass? it would be on the PC new.... 

 

where you get that number?
