AN ELECTRIC FURNACE FOR SOFTENING POINT DETERMINATIONS 1

W. L. Pendergast

Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper presents a description of an electric resistance type furnace which has been designed at the Bureau of Standards for the determination of softening points of ceramic materials. The advantages claimed for this furnace are simplicity of design, with resultant low cost of manufacture and repair, economy in operation, high temperatures available, sufficient accuracy in determining softening points in terms of standard cones or actual temperature readings, and compactness of installation.
