Viscosity of a Standard Soda-Lime-Silica Glass
Abstract:
The viscosity of a soda-lime-silica glass has been measured at the National Bureau of Standards and seven other laboratories. Determinations were made in the range of 102 to 1015 poises. The rotating cylinder was used at the higher temperatures (800 to 1450 °C) and the fiber elongation method at the lower temperatures (520 to 658 °C). The results have been critically evaluated and the glass has been issued as Standard Sample No. 710. This glass is available from the National Bureau of Standards.

Surface Tension, Capillary Action, and Viscosity
The various IMFs between identical molecules of a substance are examples of cohesive forces. The molecules within a liquid are surrounded by other molecules and are attracted equally in all directions by the cohesive forces within the liquid. However, the molecules on the surface of a liquid are attracted only by about one-half as many molecules. Because of the unbalanced molecular attractions on the surface molecules, liquids contract to form a shape that minimizes the number...
