Abstract

R7T7 glass samples were tested to determine their sensitivity to variations in the chemical composition and in industrial scale operating parameters. Variations investigated included the composition of the feed solution and the glass frit, the frit/glass ratio and the glass melting temperature. The iniportant properties of the resulting glasses were measured. Permissible variation ranges defined on the basis of the results obtained ensure that the glass properties remain acceptable compared with the reference glass.
