2. Vycor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vycor

   Vycor is the brand name of Corning's high-silica, high-temperature glass. It provides very high thermal shock resistance. Vycor is approximately 96% silica and 4% boron trioxide, but unlike pure fused silica, it can be readily manufactured in a variety of shapes. [citation needed] Vycor can be subject to prolonged usage at 900 °C. [1]

3. Krytron - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krytron

   The krytron is a cold-cathode gas-filled tube intended for use as a very high-speed switch, somewhat similar to the thyratron. It consists of a sealed glass tube with four electrodes. A small triggering pulse on the grid electrode switches the tube on, allowing a large current to flow between the cathode and anode electrodes.

4. Solar thermal collector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_thermal_collector

   Glass-glass tubes have a very reliable seal, but the two layers of glass reduce the amount of sunlight that reaches the absorber. The selective coating can be deposited on the inner borosilicate tube (high vacuum side) to avoid this, but heat has then to flow through the poorly conducting glass thickness of the inner tube in this case.

5. Corning Inc. - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corning_Inc.

   Corning was the glass supplier for lightbulbs for General Electric after Edison General Electric merged with Thomson-Houston Electric Company in 1892. [34] It was an early major manufacturer of glass panels and funnels for television tubes, invented and produced Vycor (high temperature glass with

6. Ultra low expansion glass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra_low_expansion_glass

   Ultra low expansion glass has an coefficient of thermal expansion of about 10 −8 /K at 5–35 °C. [2] It has a thermal conductivity of 1.31 W/(m·°C), thermal diffusion of 0.0079 cm 2 /s, a mean specific heat of 767 J/(kg·°C), a strain point of 890 °C [1634 °F], and an estimated softening point of 1490 °C [2714 °F], an annealing point ...

7. Duran (glass) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duran_(glass)

   250ml DURAN® laboratory bottle. DURAN is a brand name for the internationally defined borosilicate glass 3.3 (DIN ISO 3585) produced by the German company DURAN Group GmbH since 2005 under license from the Schott AG, which was the first to develop it, and which sold it from 1893 until the equity carve-out of the DURAN Group in 2005.

   Porter Moser wants No. 17 Oklahoma to make a team effort to rebound better when it hosts No. 10 Texas A&M on Wednesday in Norman, Okla. In its SEC debut on Saturday, Oklahoma (13-1, 0-1 SEC) was ...

9. Borosilicate glass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borosilicate_glass

   Guitar slide made of borosilicate glass. Borosilicate glass is a type of glass with silica and boron trioxide as the main glass-forming constituents. Borosilicate glasses are known for having very low coefficients of thermal expansion (≈3 × 10 −6 K −1 at 20 °C), making them more resistant to thermal shock than any other common glass.
