Hi Ralph,
Gary Coyne, the glass blower at Cal State LA, has published a really great Laboratory Guide. He goes into a lot of detail about glassware that I'd suggest you check out.

UChicago library has it so if your library doesn't I can share some of the key points.

Thanks for this information. The procedure I'm looking today at involves temperature considerations. Because the reaction in the glassware is significantly exothermic, so it will be contained in the ice bath. Are temperature stresses likely to be of concern for lab glassware without visible chips or cracks?
