Crucibles were formed from spinel raw materials and commercial spinel grains, with and without admixtures of other chemicals. Bottle glass was melted in these and the behavior was compared with similar containers made from fueclay grog and mullite (Corhart). The tests consisted of heating bottle glass in the crucibles at 1400°C for four hours and noting the appearance of the crucibles after the treatment. The results indicated that. under the conditions used, magnesia spinel is not suited for glass refractory material.
