1These compositions are typical of the various glass types.
2Temperature at which internal stresses are reduced significantly over a few hours.
3Temperature at which internal stresses are reduced significantly over a few minutes.
4Temperature at which glass will rapidly deform under its own weight.
5The strain point and annealing point roughly define the annealing range.
