Question:

Does the candle explode in the glass lamp shade?

Does the candle explode in the glass lamp shade?

Answer:

Don't. When the candle flame is a centimetre from the candlestick, the candle must be blown out or it will cause a burst. When the candle was burned to the candlestick, the heat expansion of the area caused a rupture. But remind you, use lampshade to hold a candle, the time is long, the chimney will be very hot, careful.
If your lamp shade can withstand the heat of the kerosene lamp, the candle should be fine. Less than one cm quench glass candlestick, it is mainly is afraid of the flame being too close to the high temperature can make the glass crack, where your kerosene lamp oil drain is glass, candles can be less to put some water in it
Flame is too close to the glass, glass localized heating may cause uneven heating, inconsistent heat bilges cold shrink and crack, as long as to avoid this problem, keep some distance to the candle flame and glass. Another: try salad oil instead of kerosene
Of course the flames will blow up, but don't worry. It's just broken glass here, not normally The explosion. If there is a high temperature resistant glass, it won't explode.
From professional perspective, the main composition of glass is silicon dioxide, is a compound, and there will be other usual glass composition, belongs to the mixture, you should know that all of the mixture has no definite melting point, so the general glass at high temperature will only grow soft melting and do not like ice into water! But... You like this kind of circumstance belongs to two, because use the candle core baking belongs to local heating glass, and glass is a poor conductor of heat (besides chimney is very thin), local temperature chimney causes heat bilges cold shrink, local expansion, and more than contraction, finally will surely: pa... A crack! Second, the popular point, like porcelain jar, in the kiln are burned with fire will not crack, but a lot of porcelain because local overheat and burst, so use porcelain cooking have to drain first, then cooking pot, no one would dare to hot pot on the water again... The reason is the same... 3, the suggestion: you can buy a very delicate little light bulb in the small gift shop to put inside, want to open the correlation is not better?
