Abstract: Due to the high melting temperature ,borosilicate glass erode refractory strongly .ZrO2 dissolved into the glass change viscosity and surface of mother glass , which also bring about many and various product defects .In this paper , a small amount of ZrO 2 were introduced into the mother glass .High temperature viscosity was tested by the rotating method and high temperature surface tension was tested by the sessile drop method .The results indicate that viscosity of the glass above 1530 ℃almost no change and viscosity of the glass below 1530 ℃ greatly increase with increasing ZrO 2 content .At same time , surface tension is increasing mono-tonically .Surface tension reduce as the temperature increases .

Key words: borosilicate glass;viscosity;surface tension
