1、Designation:F21813Standard Test Method forMeasuring Optical Retardation and Analyzing Stress inGlass1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F218;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of originaladoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A
2、number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscriptepsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers the analysis of stress in glass bymeans of a polarimeter based on the principles developed byJessop and Friedel(1,2)
3、.2Stress is evaluated as a function ofoptical retardation,that is expressed as the angle of rotation ofan analyzing polarizer that causes extinction in the glass.1.2 There is no known ISO equivalent to this standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,assoc
4、iated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:3C162 Terminology of Glass and Glass ProductsC770 Test Method
