MEASUREMENT OF WALL THICKNESS IN GLASS CONTAINER USING FLUORESCENCE Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC G01B11/00 

FIELD: measurement equipment.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to measurement equipment. A device and method are disclosed for measurement of stresses in walls of glass containers and thickness of walls of glass containers, which use fluorescence for quick and accurate detection of thickness of stress layers and walls, as well as curve of stresses in glass containers. The invention contains a device of fluorescent light coupling for sending a part of this fluorescent light radiated in response to a light beam inside a side wall of a glass container outside from the side wall of the glass container. The invention may be used for fast and accurate measurement of thickness of stress layers and walls of glass containers on a circumferential surface of glass containers.

EFFECT: device and method are adapted for large-scale production of glass containers and are capable of measuring stresses with high speed in side walls of glass containers and thickness of side walls of glass containers.
