Process of making Glass

There are several steps in producing glass. First of all,the compounds such as silica(SiO2) in form of sand, soda, and limestone is mixed in the furnace. In this process,all of the component are heated until its melting point at 1700 degree Celcius and then the mixture become fluids. Next, the fluids will be flown into different path, one goes to a bottle glass process,another goes to plate glass process. In the bottle glass process,the mixture is put into removable mould and blown by the air,so the mixture will follow the shape of the mould's border and the air will fill the empty part of the bottle.In the plate glass, the fluids is put into one place and then it will flown passes the rollers to make the thin shape of the glass. After cooled, the glass is ready to use.
