Glass Service will publish the book entitled "Glass Defects" in July 2008. 

About the book
This valuable book is written by the leading experts in the field of glass defects and fills a gap in the market which has been essentially unaddressed until now. 

Since the very beginnings of glass manufacture the defects of glass have been topical. In spite of being undesirable, defects still constitute an inseparable part of glass.

This book is concerned with defects that infringe the basic characteristic of glass as a homogenous material with a non-crystalline structure. For this reason it deals with crystalline inclusions - stones, glassy inhomogeneities - cords and layers, and gaseous inhomogenities - bubbles.

The book is divided into six basic chapters:

• Introductory chapter
• Methods used for the identification of defects
• Crystalline inclusions - stones
• Glassy inhomogeneities - cords and layers
• Gaseous inhomogeneities in glass - bubbles
• Strategy adopted during the fight against glass defects

Written for: Production managers, technical managers, R&D and laboratory personnel

Price: € 300 + shipping and handling costs
