| Why, if a quartz glass dish is heated to a high temperature and thrown into cold water, then it does not crack? What happens in this case with ordinary glass dishes?
This advantage of quartz glass is explained by the low (and almost unchanging with temperature) coefficient of thermal expansion (KGR), which is approximately 15-20 times less than the CTE of conventional glass.
