The viscosities of Li2O-SiO2-Ga2O3 and BaO-SiO2-Ga2O3 melts were measured in order to clarify the behaviour of M2O3 in the composition range of molar ratio M2O3/MeO>1, and the viscosity data on each gallosilicate were arranged using the parameter Pη(1) and Pη(2) corresponding to the composition ranges of molar ratio M2O3/MeO≤1 and M2O3/MeO≥1, respectively.
The parameter Pη(1) and Pη(2) are expressed by

oindentwhere ZMe is the electric charge of Me ion, ni is the ion fraction of i ion, XiGa is the ratio of tetrahedrally coordinated Ga3+ ions to the total Ga3+ ions and KGa is the correction factor to the XiGa on the excess Ga2O3 to MeO in the case of molar ratio Ga2O3/MeO>1.
The viscosities measured in this study well explained by the parameters using KGa=0.56, XLiGa=0.559 and XBaGa=0.54. The viscosities of the CaO-SiO2-Al2O3 melts measured also showed a good relation to those calculated from the parameters using KAl=0.73 and XCaAl=0.63.
