METHODS FOR ANALYZING A GLASS MELT COMPOSITION

Abstract:

A method for analyzing a glass melt composition, in the manufacture of glass articles, includes sampling a gas composition comprising at least one gaseous species generated from the glass melt composition during a melting operation by taking a plurality of measurements of the gas composition over a period of time. The method also includes analyzing the sampled composition to determine an amount or concentration of the at least one gaseous species in the gas composition as a function of time.
