In glass production, the total sulphur parameter is particularly important when it comes to quality assurance. The sulphur content is calculated as the SO3 content and provides important information about the quality, stability and usability of the glass.

In the production of foam glass, which is used as insulating material, the determination of total sulphur is important. The carbon content of the starting material (carbon black/glass mixture) provides information about the expected insulating properties of the finished product and is therefore of major importance for quality assurance.
