The kinematic viscosity is tex2html_wrap87 . This means tex2html_wrap88 . Then a = tex2html_wrap89 so tex2html_wrap90 . Ordinary glass at room temperature is extrapolated to have tex2html_wrap91 .

ordinary glass composition is: 72% tex2html_wrap92 , 16% tex2html_wrap93 , 8%CaO, 4% MgO which lowers the glassification temperature to something useful.

Strainpoint ( tex2html_wrap94 ) is tex2html_wrap95 where it can cool at a reasonable rate.

510C is the annealing point where internal stresses are relieved in a few minutes.

700C is the softening point where lumps flow under there own gravity in a few minutes time.

1000C is the working point where glass can be blown.
