Abstract: The disclosure relates to a glass product or glass composition, and to a method of making a glass product. The glass composition can be manufactured without inhomogeneities in the glass melt and with sufficiently uniform and isotropic properties in the obtained products. The glass compositions further minimise and/or overcome the problem of blockage of pipes, liners, ducts or nozzles during the manufacture of high-quality glasses.

Abstract: A glass article is designed at least in part in the form of a glass tube element including at least one shell which encloses at least one lumen. For at least one light transmission analysis of the glass article, a ratio of an average amplitude transmission factor and a specific amplitude transmission factor is greater than 1.00001.

Abstract: A method of making a glass product includes the steps of: melting a batch of a plurality of glass raw materials in a melting tank to form a glass melt; heating at least one of the plurality of glass raw materials and the glass melt using at least one fuel burner by reacting hydrogen and oxygen; withdrawing the glass melt from the melting tank; obtaining a glass product, the glass product having an Fe2+ to Fe3+ ratio of less than 0.2 or less than 0.05 and having at least one of less than 80 bubbles in a size range of from 0.1 mm to 0.2 mm per 10 kg of glass and less than 2 bubbles of a size larger than 0.2 mm per 10 kg of a glass.
