Metering Spout System
Advanced Refractory System Components Material Specifications
The Metering Spout System comprises an entire set of spout refractory components specially designed to promote optimum gob forming conditions. The orifice ring, spout, tube and heat baffle constitute Emhart Glass’ Metering Spout System.

The Metering Spout and Tube are the heart of the system. The sloped surface of the Metering Spout and Tube create a metering valve. The tube is the valve stem of the metering valve and the spout acts as the valve seat.

The new spout design has additional space for insulation in the lower portion of the spout.

The patented spout throat and orifice ring allow for equalization of glass flow to all ring orifices.

Each system component is produced with the standard refractory formulation appropriate for the conditions and demands.

Note that to accommodate metering tubes, changes in tube holder or tube mechanism may be required. Please consult your local sales office for further details.
