Telemetry Application in the Glass Industry

Telemetry technique and presently available equipment may be utilized to optimize information retrieval speed and to minimize the total cost of information. An example of equipment is presented with basic theory of operation. Specific applications are discussed in the areas of pressure, temperature, and strain measurement. Technique is reviewed in terms of antenna placement and heat shielding of the telemetry package. By use of the systems approach to information retrieval, telemetry technique can be of value to the glass industry where other methods of measurement are not optimum or applicable.
