The Relation between Diameter and Thermal Endurance of Glass Rods

JSGT 1951 V35 T289-T303

From an examination of the published experimental work and the results of the present investigation, a general relationship is deduced between the thermal endurance, physical properties and the radius of a glass rod. The thermal endurance is made up of two factors, one dependent only on the properties of the glass, independent of its radius, and the other dependent on the radius.
