PYREX (TM) is a borosilicate glass with a very low coefficient of thermal expansion (3.3 x 10−6/K - about one-third that of ordinary glass). The boron (or boric oxide) in the matrix apparently helps moderate the effect of changes in temperature so that even when it undergoes large changes in temperature, it doesn't expand or contract as much as normal silicate glass; normal glass will crack when exposed to big temperature changes. In this respect it has good heat resistance. It is also very chemically stable with temperature - again a "heat resistant" characteristic. Finally, it has a high melting point (~820 °C or 1,510 °F) so it tolerates oven temperatures quite well.

Why you use pyrex glass in laboratory?
Because Pyrex glass is heat resistant so you can put it in an oven or over a flame and it won't break. There are many different cookware and bakeware vessels (pans, measuring cups, pots) that are made of Pyrex, also.
Why does not a pyrex glass crack when hot water is poured on it?
Pyrex glass is made with a specific type of thermal treatment that makes it more resistant to thermal shock. This allows it to withstand sudden changes in temperature, such as pouring hot water on it, without cracking. Additionally, the chemical composition of Pyrex glass helps it to expand and contract more evenly when exposed to heat, reducing the likelihood of cracking.
What is the specific heat capacity of pyrex?
selon wikipedia dans heat capacity, glass, pyrex = 0753 J/K g
What 5 letter word that end in Rex?
Pyrex, a strong heat-resistant glass
Why is pyrex not breakable?
Pyrex is made from glass that withstands high heat and temperature changes. Though not easily broken, it is not totally unbreakable. It just does not shatter when broken or break as easily as other glass.
Thermal expansion of pyrex?
Unfortunately, this depends upon whose Pyrex you are considering. The original Pyrex was a borosilicate glass, which has a low thermal expansion. The Trademark owners have allowed the name to be used nowadays by some manufacturers who use tempered soda-lime glass. But some licensees still use a borosilicate glass.
Where can you purchase a very large Pyrex mixing bowl?
How large? Amazon, Overstock.com, Bed, Bath and Beyond all sell Pyrex and you may find what you need on their web site. Or you could Google Pyrex (made by Corning) for other retailers. Pyrex is a special tempered glass that can withstand a lot of heat, so it is used for cooking. Pyrex brand also makes measuring cups, etc out of glass and some of them are tempered and some are not. But, a mixing bowl like you are talking about does not need to withstand the heat of the oven or stovetop so any brand will be just as good as Pyrex for mixing in. Try E-bay. Also, type in Pyrex. I noticed Craig's list sells them too.
What are the benefits of using a Pyrex glass coffeepot compared to other materials for brewing coffee?
Using a Pyrex glass coffeepot for brewing coffee has benefits such as being durable, easy to clean, and not retaining flavors from previous brews. Additionally, Pyrex glass is heat-resistant and allows you to see the coffee brewing process, ensuring optimal extraction.
How does pyrex dishes works?
Pyrex dishes are made of a special glass that can withstand high heat without shattering. The unique composition of Pyrex allows it to expand and contract evenly, making it ideal for baking and cooking. This type of glass is also nonporous, so it does not retain odors or flavors from previous use.
What is a pyrex beaker?
Pyrex is anothe anme fore borosilicate. They are names for glass which are heat resistance and are used in laboratories.
