Batch Recipe Calculator
Work out raw material weights for a soda-lime, borosilicate or lead crystal batch, with an estimated melting temperature and refining note.
Three calculators for the numbers that decide whether a piece survives: batch proportions, an annealing schedule, and expansion compatibility between two glasses. Every one runs entirely in your browser.
Work out raw material weights for a soda-lime, borosilicate or lead crystal batch, with an estimated melting temperature and refining note.
Turn a glass type, a thickness and an oven load into a full ramp, soak and cool schedule with a timeline.
Check whether two glasses can be fused or mixed safely by comparing their coefficients of expansion.
These calculators use published reference values for the three main glass families. Real materials vary between suppliers and between batches. Test every recipe, schedule and colour combination on your own setup before committing a finished piece.
