The Orton Model SP-5A-DAS system is well suited for glasses that for one reason or another are not adaptable for flame working, or for applications where thermal expansion or effective length corrections (common to the fiber elongation method) are eliminated. The Orton Model SP-5A-DAS has been designed to automatically monitor the deformation of a 3-point loaded glass beam according to the ASTM C-598 method. Changes in the annealing and strain point temperatures can be used as an indication of changes in batch chemistry from raw material changes or batching errors.
Automatic Annealing and Strain Point DeterminationOperation
The system is initially heated to an equilibrium soak temperature 25°C below the expected annealing point, and waits for the next test. The operator enters the beam dimensions into the on board computer, positions the beam on the sample support, applies the midpoint load rod, and adds the weight. As soon as the START button is pushed, the Orton controller heats the furnace at 5ºC per minute, and the on board computer captures the temperature and LVDT signals of the deforming beam and calculates the beam's deformation rate. Once the deformation rate exceeds a deformation rate corresponding to a viscosity of Log 12 P (a constant that is automatically calculated by the on board computer using the operator inputted beam dimensions and pre-programmed ASTM C598 equations), the Orton controller cools the furnace at 4°C per minute. While the furnace is cooling, the temperature and LVDT signals are captured by the controller's on board computer for storage. The test is automatically concluded when the temperature falls 10°C below the annealing point. The annealing point is the temperature at which an ASTM C598 specific deformation rate occurs. This rate is calculated by the on board computer using the operator inputted beam dimensions and pre-programmed ASTM C598 equations, and is displayed on the console display until the system is reset. The furnace automatically cools to the soak temperature in about 15 minutes, and is ready for the next test. The on board computer can store data for up to 10 tests.
If desired, a separate, independent computer system (not included) can be connected to the Orton controller console via a RS232 port for real time monitoring and analysis. During the test the beam deformation rate, time, and temperature are displayed on the monitor and stored on the hard drive in a text file. At the conclusion of the test, the software automatically and immediately calculates the annealing point temperature at which the ASTM C598 specific deformation rate occurs. This rate is calculated using the operator inputted beam dimensions and pre-programmed ASTM C598 equations. The software also automatically and immediately calculates the extrapolated strain point temperature, which is the temperature where the deformation rate is 0.0316 times the annealing deformation rate, according to the ASTM C598 algorithms.
Or, if preferred, a separate, independent computer system (not included) can be connected to the Orton controller console via a RS232 port after the test is concluded. The data stored by the Orton on board computer is transferred to the independent computer's hard drive in text file format for later independent review, analysis, or permanent storage.
