The objective of this seminar is to teach students appropriate fracture diagnosis techniques that are needed to solve glass breakage and other performance related problems.

This course helps participants understand glass characteristics and introduces them to techniques for evaluating defects.

Extensive on-hands workshop to facilitate accurate cord and annealing evaluations and assure effective integration of the information into the manufacturing process

Focuses on the identification of stones and how they can be analyzed, along with the steps that can be taken to correct the problem.

Attendees will gain an appreciation for glass as a material and how it can be used to manufacture high quality glass containers and handle them appropriately in a filling line.

Students will learn the appropriate fracture diagnosis techniques that are required to solve complex glass breakage and related problems.

Provides the role of surface coating for glass strength in both the hot and cold ends as well as desired thickness levels and ways to measure the thickness.

Participants will learn key design principles necessary to achieve acceptable bottle performance.
