The Chemical Analysis of a Soda–Boric Oxide–Alumina–Silica Glass of High Silica and Boric Oxide Content, Described as Standard Glass No. 2

JSGT 1956 V40 T053-T065

In 1950, the Committee published in the Society's Transactions a report on 'The Chemical Analysis of a Soda-Boric Oxide-Alumina-Silica Glass of high Silica and Boric Oxide content' (this J., 1950, 34, 305 T). Functioning as a B.S.I. Technical Committee GLC/3-Analysis of Glass, the Committee has redrafted the 1950 report. The methods of analysis now recommended are essentially those of the 1950 report with the exception of that for the determination of the Boric Oxide content, which differs materially. In consequence, new determinations of the Boric Oxide content, using the alternative method, have been made by the co-operating analysts in different laboratories, resulting in a slightly higher mean value than that given in the 1950 report.
