Why did the glass suddenly explode after pouring boiling water?(two)

In the previous article, we shared with you the characteristics of soda lime glass and the precautions for its use in response to the video of the glass cup bursting after filling with hot water circulating on the Internet.Today we will continue to share with you another glass material-high borosilicate glass.


Compared with soda lime glass, high borosilicate glass has enhanced impact resistance, enhanced high temperature resistance, and enhanced temperature resistance.But these data are relative, not because of the different materials, completely avoiding the properties of glass.At the same time, high borosilicate glass also has different models, and different models show different attributes and characteristics.The water cup shown in the short video is said to be made of high borosilicate material, but the high temperature hot water will still burst when poured.


The editor analyzes that these may be caused by:

The first is the problem of the material itself causing the explosion.

The second is the failure to use reasonable wall thickness pipe materials in accordance with the requirements of the finished product.

Finally, the material changes due to improper process control during the processing, such as thinning of the wall thickness and unevenness of the wall thickness.


All of the above reasons may cause the borosilicate glass to burst instantaneously when hot water is poured into it.Because the content shown in the video does not seem to be because the water cup is processed in a low temperature state, it bursts due to the excessive temperature difference.


Although high borosilicate glass has higher temperature resistance than soda lime glass, it is probably only increased by about 5°C after testing.It is recommended that you wash the glass with warm water at about 20℃-30℃ in winter before using the glass cup.Summer is just water in the natural environment, and then pour in hot water for use, which can prevent the sudden bursting of the water cup from occurring.
