On-line oxygen sensor for the TIN hath in float glass production links
conference paper
A special oxygen sensor has been developed for the continuons measurement of the equilibrium oxygen pressure and oxygen content in the molten tin in the in float but of the float glass production line. The measuring principle and sensor design nre explained. Float glass surface defects like tin pick-up, bloom, scum und tin drops are directly or indirectly caused by too high oxygen levels in the molten tin. Measurements by means of the on-line oxygen sensor arc presented. These examples illustrate the merit of such sensor to limit or even prevent defects by a better control of the bath atmosphere.
