Will the chipped glass bottles/Jars shatter in the PC while sterilizing?
    #22258661 - 09/19/15 12:04 AM (8 years, 4 months ago)

Few days back one of my friend who works in a local Hospital gave me some 18-20 wide mouth glass bottles which were earlier used to store Ayurvedic medicines. They are made of thick glass and looked excellent for making grain spawn etc. And to my dismay after washing them I noticed that few of them are a bit of chipped though the cracks has not touched both the ends neither top nor bottom.  I want to know if I use them will they shatter in the PC while sterilizing or anytime while they are hot?

Being hot doesn't break glass. It's varied temp in the glass that breaks it. So it shouldn't break.

Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

As above it is temp variance that will cause cracking, but chips or scratches will greatly weaken it and so it will not stand up to any heat changes easily. A common way to break the bottom off a glass wine bottle is to lightly score it all the way around the bottle and put it into hot water and then quench it, it can take seveal cycles to do this.

So if working with them you would want to heat them up and cool them down in a slow manner. i.e. do not have a PC full of boiling water and just stick them in there.

If the chips were at the top edge the it would be hugely weakened and the crack would easily "run" down the glass.

You can make a cheap inert funnel, that's why I wanted it. Most are doing it for arts & crafts, making ornaments, light shades etc. Some discard the top and keep the bottom as a glass.

There are numerous commercial devices to help do the scoring and loads of sites about it.

I made one by mistake from a wine fermenting demijohn. I was trying to make a giant LC years ago and the heating of it broke the bottom clean off.

It was a UK gallon, 4.5L, the lugs made it easy to pick up

Repeated exposure to fluctuating temperature can weaken the glass over time. The result isn't typically the bottle spontaneously shattering. More likely if/when it occurs it'll be when you set it down, or some other action that jostles it.
