Can double glasses explode?
Jun 09, 2022
We should first understand the reason for the explosion of the glass: after pouring boiling water, the inner wall of the glass is in contact with the boiling water, and the temperature rises rapidly. The heat conduction of the glass material is very slow, so that the temperature of the outer wall cannot be increased rapidly and simultaneously, so the expansion speed of the glass inside and outside is different, which will cause the glass to break and explode. Whether it explodes depends mainly on two factors:
The thickness of the double glass wall. The thicker the wall of the cup, the slower the heat transfer, and the more likely it is to cause inconsistent expansion rates, which can cause explosions. The thermos bladder is made very thin to avoid explosion.
The difference between indoor air temperature and boiling water temperature. The larger the temperature difference, the same principle will lead to different expansion rates inside and outside, resulting in explosion. That's why glass explosions mostly happen in winter and rarely in summer.
I believe everyone is familiar with the above content. Whether the double-layer glass will explode or not depends on whether we apply it correctly, and we must pay attention to the quality of the glass when purchasing. By understanding the thickness of the glass As well as the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the boiling water, it can be understood that the use of the glass needs everyone's attention.
