The Thermal Expansion Coefficient of Quartz Glass
The thermal expansion coefficient of quartz glass is only 1/10 to 1/20 of ordinary glass. The purity of quartz glass has an effect on the expansion coefficient. The linear expansion coefficient of the general transparent quartz glass (0-100℃) is 5.4×10-7. Opaque quartz glass is 5.5×10-7. High purity synthetic quartz glass is 4.9×10-7(0-200℃)-5.0×10-7(5-35℃). Temperature(℃) 100 [...]
