If you'd like to get brand new borosilicate Pyrex that's as good as the vintage, you should look into buying Pyrex made in France. All French made Pyrex is real borosilicate unlike the Pyrex manufactured and sold in the US. It's a bit pricier especially if imported to the US, but if you travel to Europe you can buy it for cheap as souvenir from any good shop that sells kitchenware. The French made Pyrex is the standard Pyrex all around Europe.

In some cases these panels are heated to over 500°C temperature. They are very thin .35mm to .7mm thick and can withstand quiet a bit of abuse during the processing. they are very large sheets up to 110,000 cm² or 11m².

As a Boro lampwork glass artist I appreciate this in depth explanation of the glass I love working with so much. Borosilicate glass is used almost exclusively in the Functional Glass arenas (ie...pipes and other items for the pot smoking industry). It is a fantastic material for creative flame glass working as it easy to work with and produces strong products and works of art. I have a couple questions.... is CTE and COE the same? In Flameworking we refer to COE = Coefficient Of Expansion. I assume that’s the same as your CTE??? Hard glass (Borosilicate) has a COE of 33; Soft glass (Sodalime) has COEs ranging from 90-104. How do the COE numbers relate to the temperatures they are affected by? Boro needs much higher temps to melt but has lower COE. Soft glass melts at lower temps but has much higher COE numbers. THANKS

@j7ndominica05128 күн бұрын
Why does glass break more on cooling? Most glass can handle hot water/drinks poured into it. Even fairly thick glass. Then it breaks on touch and cooling. The difference between warm and cold beer is so small that the breakage must be a truly unique case. Quite a few common items need to withstand heat: water kettles, coffee presses, tea glasses, halogen oven, pan lids. They should make coffee presses with the diameter and height of a standard lab beaker so that it could be replaced. But pointless visual design rules, and they keep reinventing basic shapes.

I really wish I could get new PYREX in non-metric. :/ I have two PYREX measuring cups, but the larger one has lasted so long that all the red text wore off, so it can't be used to measure anymore. I think this happened because the glass is legitimately more thermally resistant than the print, and decades of heating, cooling and washing wore the markings off. I want to replace it with an identical copy, but it's not possible because of greedy businessmen and their race to the bottom mentality.
