Instrument for determining viscosities and electrical resistivities of molten glass candidates for immobilizing Hanford nuclear defense wastes

Creators

Description

Viscosity and electrical resistivity information is required for a variety of glass melts as part of laboratory plant glass composition screening programs and/or part of pre-pilot plant parametric studies of glass composition/physical property relationships. This report describes the design specifications and calibration procedures of a recently assembled, dual-purpose, viscosity/electrical resistivity instrument. The instrument can detect molten glass viscosity between 10 and 16,000 poise and electrical resistivities larger than 2Ω.cm at temperatures between 1,000 and 1,5500C
