A platinum alloy resistance-heated crucible also may beused.4.1.2 Procedu

9、re B employs a similar furnace but with aremovable, rotatable crucible support as shown in Fig. 2.4.1.3 Furnaces other than resistance-wound muffle typesmay be used provided they give uniform and stable tempera-ture conditions.

An alternative design has a hollowshaft to house the thermocouple (junction at the center of thelarge diameter portio

16、.5. Preparation of Test Glass5.1 Select a mass of glass that is free of foreign material.Break or cut glass into pieces, each weighing about 10 to 50 g,and place the correct quantity into the crucible that will makethe molten charge reach a level at some fixed distance (severalmillimetres) above the

17、 point where the spindle narrows down.The weight of glass required can be approximated satisfactorilywith the following expression for a cylindrical crucible:WT5 pd2L 1 h!/4 2 Vs#r 1 2 0.0007a! (1)where:h = distance between crucible floor and spindle tip, mm(generally greater than 10 mm to avoid end

18、 effects)WT= glass charge weight at room temperature, g,d = inside diameter of crucible, mm,L = immersed portion of spindle, mm,Vs= volume of immersed portion of spindle, mm3,r = density of glass at room temperature, g/cm3, anda = 0 to 300C thermal expansion coefficient, cm/cmC(3 107).Avoid very sma

19、ll pieces of glass in the charge as they tendto make the molten glass seedy.5.2 Place the filled crucible in proper position in the furnaceand heat to a temperature that lowers the viscosity of glasssufficiently to allow trapped air bubbles to be released. Thistemperature should be below the origina

20、l melting temperatureto avoid reboil. If reboil occurs, allow additional time for theglass to clear. Hold at this temperature at least 20 min beforestarting measurements.6. Calibration and Viscosity Determination6.1 The use of several standard reference glasses (seeAppendix X1),3available from the N

21、ational Institute of Stan-dards and Technology, is recommended. These provide a widerange of temperatures and viscosities for calibration.6.2 For constant angular velocity rotation:hV/v (2)where:h = viscosity,V = torque, andv = angular velocityFor aperiodic return:3See NIST Special Publication 260,

24、ou1angular displacement.6.3 Using the standard reference glasses, establish linearplots of h versus V/v or h versus t/ln(u2/u1), or both. Byproper selection of glasses the same viscosity can be attained atdifferent temperatures; this can be helpful in establishingwhether temperature errors are prese

25、nt. Nonlinearity of theseplots indicate a problem in the apparatus which must becorrected. These linear plots, once well-established, are used toderive viscosity of unknown test glasses. A linear regression ofthe calibration data is recommended.7. Procedure7.1 Center the spindle over the crucible wi

26、th a preset fixturethat assures concentric alignment and lower the spindle into themolten glass. The displacement between spindle end andcrucible floor shall be sufficient to minimize end effects(generally 1 cm or more will suffice). Allow a few minutes forthe glass line to stabilize. Connect the to

27、rque-measuringsystem.7.2 Depending on whether Procedure A or Procedure B isbeing employed, start rotation of either spindle or crucible.Measure and record the torque after it has stabilized. Measureand record the temperature at the time of torque measurement.7.3 Adjust the temperature controller to

28、change the tempera-ture for the next set of readings. Allow sufficient time fortemperature stabilization, and repeat 7.2. Torque readings maybe taken on cooling or heating providing that data so taken arein agreement with steady-state measurements.7.4 Torque-temperature data are repeated to provide

29、suffi-cient data to describe the viscosity-temperature relationship.7.5 With a steel wire suspension as the torque measurementmember, viscosities above 103Pas require very stiff (largediameter) wire. An alternative to constant angular velocityrotation is to displace the spindle some 30 to 40 from th

30、e rest(0) position and allow the wire suspension to drive the spindleback to null. Select two angles relative to null, u2and u1,(u2TABLE 3FIG. 3 Two Types of CruciblesFIG. 4 Typical Platinum Alloy SpindleC 965 96 (2007)3u1), and measure the time required for the spindle to pass fromu2to u1on return

31、to null. This is called aperiodic return.7.6 After all measurements have been taken, raise thetemperature so the spindle can be easily raised out of the melt.After clinging molten glass has dripped back into the crucible,remove the spindle from the furnace. It is sometimes conve-nient to remove the

32、crucible when hot and pour the moltenglass out, especially if the crucible is reusable.8. Calculation8.1 Take the average of the torque or time readings depend-ing whether the mode of observation is constant angularvelocity or aperiodic return. Calculate V/v or t/ln(u2/u1), orboth, and from the cali

33、bration function calculate the viscosity.8.2 Plot derived viscosities as a function of temperature anddraw a smooth curve to fit the data. For most glasses the datacan be fitted to the following expression for mathematicalsmoothing:log10h5A 1 B/T 2 To(4)where:T = temperature, C, andA, B, and To= adj

34、ustable constants.9. Report9.1 Report the following information:9.1.1 Designation of glass, source, and date,9.1.2 Viscosity-temperature plot and mathematical fit ifderived, and9.1.3 Date of test and name of operator.10. Precision and Bias10.1 Proper calibration with viscosity SRMs eliminatesbias an

35、d makes the accuracy of measurement equal to theuncertainty of the values given in the SRM certificates.10.2 Precision will vary from laboratory to laboratory andapparatus to apparatus. It can be established by multipledeterminations for the same glass using standard statistics.Following best practi

36、ces, the standard deviation for a singleapparatus would not be expected to exceed a few (5) percent.11.
