Temperature Profiling of Glass by FT-IR Emission Spectroscopy

Fourier transform infrared (FT‐IR) spectroscopy is utilized to measure the wavelength and temperature‐dependent radiative properties of two glass formulations. The information gained is then used with FT‐IR measurements of radiance from hot glass to determine temperature gradient profiles through ea...

Description
Summary:Fourier transform infrared (FT‐IR) spectroscopy is utilized to measure the wavelength and temperature‐dependent radiative properties of two glass formulations. The information gained is then used with FT‐IR measurements of radiance from hot glass to determine temperature gradient profiles through each glass thickness. Temperature profiling of clear Corning Pyrex and green‐tinted PPG Solex are presented. The Solex was measured on‐line, in situ during production at the industrial kiln. Since a temperature profile (not just bulk average) is obtained, the method offers a better understanding of process conditions for the glass industry.
