A method for determining the comparative rates of release of the soluble elements in glasses to an acid‐leaching solution (0.02 N HCl) was studied. The solution was run through a column of powdered glass at a temperature of 50°C. Soda and silica removed from the surface of the glass were determined by spectrographic analysis. By successive analyses of the leaching solutions, curves were obtained showing the amounts of soda and silica removed. Determinations were made on three glasses typical of those used in the flat glass industry: a plate glass and two window glasses.
