Glass
INISMa-CRIBC gives you access to a complete range of analysis and measurement solutions for developing and characterising glass from the raw materials used to the finished product. General analyses are listed below; tests specific to hollow glass articles and glazing and components are covered by specific headings. For any further information or an analysis you cannot find in the list, do not hesitate to contact us.
- Chemical analysis of raw material composition, glass, cullet (XRF, wet method…)
- Factory Production Control
- Chemical resistance to acids and alkali and migration/leaching (Pb, Cd…)
- Hardness, bending strength
- Calculation and/or measurement of physical properties (refractive index, density, thermal expansion coefficient)
- Dilatometry (thermal expansion coefficient , Tg, quenching temperature…)
- High temperature viscosity (viscosity vs. temperature curve)
- Colour and redox potential (UV-visible spectroscopy) measurement and analysis - colour problem investigation
- Developpment of new glass compositions matching specific properties
- Compositional change (including colour, viscosity, density)
- Fusion trial for the evaluation of new raw materials
- Corrosion resistance of refractory materials
- Air pollution measurement
- Analysis of bubbles and seeds
- Analysis of cords and stones
- Breakage diagnosis
- Analysis of glass piece
- Expert appraisals
