Title: With an outside temp...
Post by: cbcs on December 01, 2008, 08:04:20 am

With an outside temp of -4.5c... is it too cold to work and throw water everywhere? Or with warm water at 25c cracking any glass?

I've worked at minus 5 with 60 degree water at hosereel. Very high waterflow and no hanging around on windows for glass to warm up considerably. Too quick for thermal shock ;D
