Glass coefficiency is basically compatibility.  How can the glass cooperate with itself or other types of glass.  AKA COE for Coefficient of Expansion.

Everything has a COE.  Boro is 33, this is actually 3,300,000.  What this really means is it has good thermal resistance.  But below is a comparison

(≈3.3 × 10−6 K−1)

Boro 3,300,000

Soft 9,600,00

Quartz 55,000,000

General thermal expansion coefficient

In the general case of a gas, liquid, or solid, the volumetric coefficient of thermal expansion is given by
