Abstract
A method providing measurement of melting temperature of glaze powder parti cles is described. The principle of the method is a direct measurement of t he light transmittance through a layer of frit powder at a constant heating rate. Examples are given to measure melting temperatures of a commercially produced frit and sodium chloride and sodium phosphate (NaPO3) chemicals, respectively. Specific features of the present measurement method are discu ssed with respect to the other similar methods.
