A Critical Survey of the Methods in Use for the Analysis of the Simpler Glasses

JSGT_1927_V11_T124_T153

In the present paper it is proposed to examine and criticise the various methods in use for the analysis of glasses of the more common varieties. The glasses comprised in such a scheme normally contain silica, iron oxide, alumina, manganese oxide, magnesia, soda, and potash, with sulphate, chlorides and sometimes the oxides of arsenic and antimony in small proportions, and will include the soda-lime series of glasses. The scheme for the lead glasses will differ only from the above in having to consider the determination of lead oxide instead of lime.
