Pyrex™ — a registered name of the Corning Corporation, this refers to common borosilicate glass with an expansion of 3.25x10-6 cm/cm/°C. It is readily available, and can easily be heated and formed. Components are readily available, including ground joint valves. Laboratory glassware is Pyrex, and has a maximum working temperature of 490°C or 1500°F.
Lime Glass — a soft glass with an expansion of 9.35x10-6 cm/cm/°C, it can be easily heated and formed, and is often used in household windows. However, the high expansion rate increases the likelihood of thermal cracking.
Lead Glass — so named because of the 25% or more lead-oxide content in its chemical make-up, this high expansion glass (8.93x10-6 cm/cm/°C) can be sealed directly onto metals such as Platinum. It is commonly used in Neon signs, and has been replaced commercially by Barium Strontium Glass for environmental reasons.
Corning 7052 — this glass was specially designed by Corning Corporation for creating a vacuum tight seal when joined to Kovar. It has an expansion of 4.7x10-6 cm/cm/°C and a maximum temperature of 420°C
Aluminosilicate — a very dense glass, ideal for containing gases such as helium and hydrogen, as well as alkali metals. This glass has a high expansion of 4.2x10-6 cm/cm/°C and a maximum temperature of 650°C
