Extract

The Inorganic Analytical Laboratory of Owens-Corning Fiberglas is routinely using a Philips PW1600 x-ray spectrometer for the analysis of glass and glass raw materials. The spectrometer is equipped with 11 fixed channels, two scanning channels, and an energy dispersive detector. Operation of the spectrometer and data compilation is accomplished using a Digital Equipment Corp. PDP11/34 computer. The x-ray is controlled by an RSX-11M operating system, and the Philips “Alphas” software package is used to process data using the Lucas- Tooth Pyne (LP), Lachance-Traill (LT), or Rasberry-Heinrich (RH) correction models.
