REPRESENTATION OF DENSITY AND OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF TERNARY SILICATE GLASS SYSTEMS

Abstract
A general procedure is outlined for the preparation of contour maps representing such properties as density, refractive index, and Abbe value for ternary glass systems in which one component is silica, using previously published equations and constants. The procedure is illustrated by application to the Na2O–MgO–SiO2 and Na2O–CaO–SiO2 systems.
