Some Notes on Pot Failure

JSGT 1918 V02 T013-T018

 These notes represent the results of extended observations on pots in use and by their publication the writer hopes that other glass manufacturers will be encouraged to publish theirs, so that by the exchange of experience they may bestow benefit on the industry in general. The notes only cover a few of the many possible causes of pot failure. The object of the observations was to improve glasshouse refractories, and a start was made by investigating the cause of failure in our present refractories to find out, if possible, how far the, faults were inherent in the material and to what extent they were due to the methods of production.
