Abstract :
The strength and fracture characteristics of tempered glass are dependent on the temperature/time relationship of the glass during the heating and cooling operations. This paper describes the use of radiation pyrometers embodying appropriate filters to measure and control the glass temperature so as to achieve consistently the required characteristics in the tempered glass.
