How to test glass?
    #12045807 - 02/17/10 09:55 AM (14 years, 10 months ago)

So, I found glass, which I planing to use for PF-Tek, but I'm not sure if it can take PC. It's 7,64oz and thickness 0,12inch. How can I test it without PS (will buy it later)?

you have to use the bounce test

hold it as high as you can, and just drop it. then see if it bounces





















btw dont actually do this unless you like broken glass

I'm assuming youre talking about glass jars...? well you should be fine, if you can pressure cook plastic (as i do with syringes all the time) it should definitely be ok to PC any kind of glass

All glass can be pressure cooked. If it's a thin jar, be careful handling it- but the temperatures are fine.

When you PC glass it only breaks when it cools too quickly. Make sure you give it time to cool and you'll be alright. It's one of the reasons why we use cold water in our PC's first. You want it to gradually heat up and cool down.

But PC is the better, faster and safer way then using regular pot filed with water.

Just let the Pc cool down on its own over a few hours and you will be fine. Doesnt look too much like soft glass but unless the lighting is off it doesnt look like borosilicate either.

A good way to tell is the refraction of light through the glass, though you have to know what you are looking for to do it. Light passing through  soda-lime glass, window quality glass, borosilicate, etc. all has a different quality to it.

The light doesn't go through the glass. I think this glass is used for tea/coffee. :rolleyes:
