Properties of Glass

Glass is lined in reactor vessel with Borosilicate 3.3 

Borosilicate Glass 3.3 compositions
  • 80% Silica
  • 13% Boron oxide
  • 4%   Sodium Oxide
  • 2 - 3% Aluminium Oxide


Boron oxides thermal expansion is very low. 

What is thermal expansion? Check here

It is 0.0000033 to  0.000007 m/(m·K). Check table

Borosilicate 3.3 glass has low weight density because atomic weight of Boron is low. 
It is 10.81 g/mol.
