Abstract
One proceeds with indirect measurement of the temperature of a molten bath (1) of a viscous material such as glass by measuring a parameter such as the motor torque of a rotating mechanical stirrer (3) or the heating power extracted from its coolant water. One thereby dispenses with direct measurement of the temperature by a rod provided with a thermocouple and subject to difficult operating conditions.
Claims5
A method for measuring the temperature of a molten glass bath (1), by correlating a quantity measured at said temperature with a function established beforehand, characterized in that the measured quantity is drawn from a mobile mechanical stirrer (3) in the molten bath for mixing it.
