Abstract

Densification rates are reported for 3 classes of porous glass materials: soot preforms made by flame hydrolysis, silica gel, and phase‐separated and leached borosilicate glass. Viscosity values obtained by fitting the densification data to the theory of Part I of the present study are in reasonable agreement with viscosity measured by beam bending using fully sintered glass of the same type.
