The Representation of the Density and Optical Properties of Ternary Silicate Glass Systems by Contour Maps

JSGT 1946 V30 T333-T342

A general procedure is outlined for the preparation of contour maps representing such properties as density, refractive index and Abbe value for ternary glass systems in which one component is silica, using previously published equations and constants. The procedure is illustrated by application to the Na₂O–MgO–SiO₂ and Na₂O–CaO–SiO₂ systems.
