22、 air bubbles to be released. Thistemperature should be below the original 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 s

By properselection of glasses the same viscosity can be attained atdifferent temperatures; this can be helpful
27、in establishingwhether temperature errors are present. 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.Alinear regression ofthe calibration data is recommended.7. Pro
28、cedure7.1 Center the spindle over the crucible with 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 minut
29、es forthe glass line to stabilize. Connect the torque-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 meas

Torque readings maybe taken on cooling or heating providing that data so taken arein agreement with steady-state measurements.FIG
31、. 3 Two Types of CruciblesFIG. 4 Typical Platinum Alloy SpindleC965 96 (2017)37.4 Torque-temperature data are repeated to provide suffi-cient data to describe the viscosity-temperature relationship.7.5 With a steel wire suspension as the torque measurementmember, viscosities above 103Pas require ver
32、y stiff (largediameter) wire. An alternative to constant angular velocityrotation is to displace the spindle some 30 to 40 from the rest(0) position and allow the wire suspension to drive the spindleback to null. Select two angles relative to null, 2and 1,(21), and measure the time required for the
33、spindle to pass from2to 1on return 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 s
34、ometimes conve-nient to remove the 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 / or t/ln(
35、2/1), orboth, and from the calibration 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:log10 5 A1B/T 2 To(4)where:T = temper
