Stress measurement
Strainoptics Inc., North Wales, Pa.,
will show the AUTO-GASP polarimeter that measures surface stress in
heat-strengthened and tempered flat
AUTO-GASP
glass non-destructively and automatically. The instrument can be ordered as
a complete system or as a kit for easily
converting conventional GASP surface
polarimeters to automatic measurement. The AUTO-GASP connects to
any Win XP or 32-bit VISTA PC with
a USB port and uses proprietary image
analysis software to report surface compression with two mouse clicks. Data
is reported on-screen and may be saved
or recalled in Excel format for storage
or analysis. For verification purposes,
calculations can also be made manually
via a video image using the familiar
GASP reticle and protractor dial.

Temperature measurement
BASF, Fremont, Calif., will introduce
a number of thermocouple and optical thermometer solutions that can
provide temperature insights for higher
yields. The Exactus Gob Temperature measurement system has boosted
yields by more than 0.4 percent and
delivered payback times of less than
eight months, according to the exhibitor. The Exactus Fiberglass Bushing
Temperature measurement system can
eliminate uncertainty from bushing
thermocouple drift and help deliver
consistent temperature measurement.
The Exactus Crown and Bottom
Temperature measurement system
enables stable and robust temperature
control for furnace applications. BASF
Thermocouple technology offers proven
performance in forehearth, melter
