Softening Point       the temperature at which dichroic glass jewelry has a viscosity of 10 7.6 poises. In this temperature range dichroic glass will deform noticeably under its own weight: ASTM C 338. "softening point, SP-the temperature at which a uniform fiber, 0.55 to 0.75 mm in diameter and 235 mm in length, elongates under its own weight at a rate of 1 mm/min when the upper 100 mm of its length is heated in the manner prescribed in ASTM Method C338. Test for Softening Point of dichroic glass jewelry at a rate of approximately 5 C/min. For dichroic glass of density near 2.5, this temperature corresponds to a viscosity of 10 7.6 poises.
