Sorry if you asked me before, I must've missed it.

It means the coefficient of linear thermal expansion. Meaning how much the glass will expand per degree of change in temperature. So, let's say you had a glass "brick", that was 3 inches by 4 inches by 6 inches at 12 degrees Celsius and you want to see what the dimensions would be at 70 degrees Celsius.


The COE of regular plate glass is 9 X 10^-6 (9 times 10 raised to the power of negative 6) per degree of difference in degrees Celsius

Calculate for each dimension:

For the 3 inch dimension raised by 58 (the difference between the starting temp 12 and ending temp 70) degrees Celsius:

3 inches times (1 + (9 X 10^-6 X 58)) = 3 X 1.000522 = 3.00157 inches

Then do the same for the other two dimensions


4 inches times (1 + (9 X 10^-6 X 58)) = 4 X 1.000522 = 4.0021 inches


6 inches times (1 + (9 X 10^-6 X 58)) = 6 X 1.000522 = 6.00315 inches

So your brick, which was 3 by 4 by 6 at 12 degrees will be 3.00157" by 4.0021" by 6.00315" at 70 degrees.



Just for fun, let's say that standard soda lime glass didn't HAVE a melting point (yes, I know, that would definitely change the COE but bear with me), and you heated that brick up to 1,000,000 degrees Celsius, what would the dimensions be? LOL

3 X [1 + (9 X 10^-6 X 999,988)] = 30

4 X [1 + (9 X 10^-6 X 999,988)] = 40

6 X [1 + (9 X 10^-6 X 999,988)] = 60

So your brick, at 1,000,000 degrees Celsius would be a very large (but not very dense) 2 1/2 feet, by 3 feet 4 inches, by 5 feet. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

(Now you know why my wife hates when the blackboard comes out)




Hope this helps.

@HymanKaplan Thought you might appreciate this. 13% of students who took a UC San Diego math assessment could not perform at first-grade level, and 25% of kids got the equation 7 + 2 = [ ] + 6 wrong.



Spending too much time on trying to teach illegals how to game the system and spending the other time on teaching and grooming students for sex and or transitioning into whatever the new movement is. California should be given back to Mexico.

HaymanKaplan, I still want you to explain to me What 96 Coe means for glass. I don't fire glass in a kiln although I would like to learn, just to old to get into it. The formula is what I would like for you to explain to me.. I don't know how to post a picture but the formula Coefficient of Expansion, meaning the glass expands at the rate of 96 x10 with a minus 7 by the top of the zero, then a / small zero then C. If you don't want to mess with old Cord, that's ok, but that formula has bugged me ever since ! I saw it! Thanks
Oh no, now Cord!

Calgon take me away!

Oh wait! That was on final Jeopardy last night.

Yeah, engineers have to be well versed in COE especially when building structures/buildings in areas where there is a broad range of temps throughout the seasons.

One more reason to add to why I already don't shop at Walmart. The last time I did any real shopping there a few years ago, they refused to open checkout lanes with lines nearly 20 people long (that you could see, as the lines went down aisles and into clothing racks) and several employees standing around talking. I asked if they were going to open any registers. When they said no I left my cart and walked out. Others did the same.


I would've gotten the employee names, then gone up to customer service and returned ALL of it. They put their hands all over it. They can put their hands all over it again as they put it back on the shelf. Filing a complaint with the company wouldn't have done much good, if that's what they're doing nationwide.

Well, will the DOJ re-indict Comey and James? I'm hoping they continue with full force.

Considering the judge just projected her own prejudice and that of the court onto this legitimate prosecution after the ACTUAL VINDICTIVE, FARCICAL ONE was allowed to continue unabated for over a year and none of these "judges" stepped up to stop it, the judge should be removed, disbarred, and never let near a courtroom again until her trial for abusing her position.

James committed actual criminal conduct. She lied about her residency among other things to get a better interest rate +/or terms on her loan. She defrauded the lender and the investors that bought the loan on the secondary market. She might have lied to her homeowners insurance company as well to get better rates.

If she can prosecute someone for less, and something that is a subjective estimate on the application (estimating a value of REO), she can stand before a legitimate judge and jury herself.

It's completely out of my field. I was just trying to demonstrate what it meant mathematically for cord because he asked. And honestly, when am I ever going to turn down the chance to do math. LOL I would think, that in terms of glass working, it would mostly apply to folks that do leaded stained glass work etc.
With your math knowledge, why aren't you a suoerdooper type of corporate executive?

No coloring, unless it's the area under a curve, after you calculate said area first. And HOW DO WE DO THAT?

Anyone? Anyone? Anyone? (you use the antiderivative via integration LOL)

Was going to answer but saw you already posted. This single principle made me understand Calculus to the level I needed to get an engineering degree. Always loved math and science (as well as English, history, and linguistics), but I got stuck for a bit at Calculus until a very good teacher explained this to me.

THAT'S your huckleberry right there.

Dershowitz is probably the biggest reason why the epstein files haven't been made public, and why this propaganda arm has gone bionic to Epic 40k scale. He's on the list, in the flight logs, and more than one person testified he was not only present but a perp.

Some here don't shop at Kroger due to checkout issues. Others don't shop at Wal Mart. So where do you shop? I don't have a problem with either. DW does 90%+ of the grocery shopping.
