Abstract
A variant of the indentation method is proposed for measuring the viscosity of glasses in the range 1011–105.5 P for samples 10 × 10 × 4 mm3 in size. In this method, the viscosity is determined from the penetration rate of spherical or conical indenters under conditions of continuous heating. It is shown that the standard error in the measurements does not exceed 0.1log(η). The described variant of the indentation method makes it possible to considerably decrease the time of measurements and to extend the range of the measured viscosity for easily crystallizing glasses toward higher temperatures.
