An earlier investigation showed that marked increases in the tensile strength of glass could be achieved by soaking the specimens in water at 90°C. Increases in strength for the three glasses studied (soda‐lime, lead, and borosili‐cate) were shown to depend on time of soaking. The present investigation was an extension of this earlier work and dealt with the effect of soaking temperature on strength. A constant soaking period of 24 hours and soaking temperatures of 30° and 60°C. were used. Results were consistent with the view that chemical reaction between water and glass under proper conditions may result in strength increases due to reduction in stress‐concentration potentials of flaws.
