Some Temperature Measurements on Wired Glass

JSGT 1932 V16 T382-T386

 Measurements have been made on a sample of wired glass exposed to strong sunshine in order to ascertain if, in such circumstances, the wire can become appreciably hotter than the surrounding glass. No evidence of such an effect has been discovered. Large temperature differences have, however, been observed between the edge and the centre of a sheet of glass in a roof-light of normal construction. The special methods of temperature measurement adopted are fully described.
