MLRG - Frit Melting Range (C) Test
This refers to the range at which a glassy material softens and finally melts (crystalline materials melt at a definite temperature, glasses do not). Frit manufacturers quote Fusion temperature and Flow temperatures, this could be considered that range, namely, from where it starts to melt to where it begins to flow.
