Applies to glasses of normal bulk-production compositions but not to fused silica, glass ceramics or other glasses of low linear thermal expansion coefficients.

This International Standard specifies a method for determining the coefficient of mean linear thermal expansion of glass in the elastic solid-like state, well below the transformation temperature (see ISO 7884-8).

This International Standard applies to all glasses of normal bulk-production compositions. It does not apply to fused silica, glass ceramics or other glasses of similarly low linear thermal expansion coefficients.
