tilavuuslasi
Tilavuuslasi, also known as borosilicate glass or borosilicate, is a type of glass with the main glass-forming constituents silica and boron oxide. It is known for its low coefficient of thermal expansion, which makes it resistant to thermal shock. This property allows tilavuuslasi to withstand rapid changes in temperature without breaking, making it suitable for applications where temperature fluctuations are common.
Tilavuuslasi is typically composed of about 80% silica (SiO2), 12-13% boron oxide (B2O3), and smaller amounts of
Due to its excellent thermal properties, tilavuuslasi is widely used in laboratory glassware, such as beakers,
The term "tilavuuslasi" is Finnish, and it translates to "volume glass" in English. This name reflects the
