Fourcault process the pit must be "heated back" and then the process can continue anew. Glass chemistry has a huge impact on the process since it controls the melting, forming and annealing temperatures, liquidus temperature (point where various chemicals that make up the glass start to crystallize out of the glass) and rates of change of characteristics of the glass itself. Occasionally the ribbon will break or crack, leading to failure of the drawing process. Such breaks, known as "checks" can be alleviated by using proper operating parameters. Sometimes an expedient measure, using a portable source of heat, can be used to
Death by burning of death resulting from exposure to extreme heat are known. For example, pouring substances such as molten metal onto a person (or down their throat or into their ears), as well as enclosing persons within, or attaching them to, metal contraptions subsequently heated. Immersion in a heated liquid as a form of execution is considered distinct from death by burning, and classified as death by boiling.
