Methods of Investigating Glass Currents in Tank Furnaces

JSGT 1936 V20 T651-T675

The methods hitherto employed for the investigation of glass currents are described, reference being made to the results obtained by the individual methods so far as these can be considered as sufficiently guaranteed. The authors' experience is described with the borehole method at the Osram Glass Works and their results given of this and other methods. Examination of a tank when cold can give much information regarding the character and distribution of the glass currents in the tank at its working temperature
