Stress Measurement for Glass Containers
Evaluating residual stress in glass containers is an essential quality control practice for manufacturers. Using polarized light, the PS-100-C148 helps operators inspect annealing quality, identify excessive stress, and support testing in accordance with ASTM C148 and ASTM C1426.
Reliable Polarimetry for Glass Containers
Residual Stress Inspection
Evaluate stress patterns in annealed glass containers using polarized light.
Annealing Quality Verification
Identify stress conditions that may indicate inconsistent or inadequate annealing.
Temper Number Evaluation
Use the calibrated analyzer to support apparent temper number determination.
ASTM Testing Support
Support quality control procedures performed in accordance with ASTM C148 and ASTM C1426.
PS-100-C148 Polarimeter System
A dedicated polarimeter system designed for residual stress inspection and apparent temper number evaluation in glass containers.
The PS-100-C148 Polarimeter System includes:
– Large 200 × 200 mm illuminated viewing area
– Rotatable analyzer calibrated in degrees
– RPLP-100 full-wave tint plate
– Polarized light source for container inspection
– Durable benchtop system for laboratory and production use
The system is designed to support routine polariscopic examination of annealed glass containers in accordance with ASTM C148 and ASTM C1426.
Where Glass Container Stress Analysis Is Used
RPLP-100 Full-Wave Tint Plate
The RPLP-100 Full-Wave Tint Plate is included with the PS-100-C148 system for qualitative evaluation of stress direction and stress distribution in glass containers.
When inserted into the optical path, the tint plate produces color changes that help distinguish tensile and compressive stress regions during polariscopic examination.
Included With the System
– Full-wave retardation plate
– Designed for use with the PS-100 viewing field
– Supports qualitative stress interpretation
– Suitable for routine glass container inspection
Application
Used during polariscopic examination of annealed glass containers in accordance with established laboratory procedures.
