Homogenizing: compositional variation (Cord)

• Melting segregation during batching melting

• Volatilization from the melt surface

• Reaction of the melt with the refractories.


By S.T.Rattanachan

Glass furnace

• Pot furnace

• Tank furnace: 2-3 tons melted and refined in one day

• Continuous tank: feed input=feed output– Bridge-wall tanks

– No bridge walls (for window glass and plate glass) #�� 100-200 �%2 ก�� 30-35 �%2

By S.T.Rattanachan

Viscosity ( η)

• Viscosity is the inverse of fluidity

• Viscosity is a measure of the resistance to shear deformation with time

• Unit: Pa.s � 1 Pa.s = 10 poise , 1 poise = 1 dyn/cm2

• ��!"" c.g.s �� g/cm.s �� poise (P)

• ��!"" SI �� kg/m.s = Ns/m2 �� Pa.s

• 1 P = 0.1Ns/m2

Viscosity-temperature relation

• The working range index (WRI) = TL-TG

• The gob temperature (GT) = 2.63 (TL-TG)+TL

• The relative machine speed (RMS) =

(TL-450)/(TL-TG+80)

• The devitrification index (DI)= TL-TG-160

Measurement of viscosity

• Stokes’ falling sphere/bubble rise

• Falling sphere viscometers

• η < 104 Pa.s

• A platinum ball of radius r is allowed to fall freely in the molten glass and its velocity v of fall is measured.

Rotating cylinder viscometer

• η < 106 Pa.s

• Margules: a platinum cylinder is rotated at a constant velocity in the molten glass.

• Glass velocity is calculated from the torque (M) applied to cylinder to maintain a given velocity of rotation.
