Abstract—The regularities of the influence of the glass composition on the structural linear expansion coeffi-
cient in the glass transition range are analyzed using the published data obtained in systematic experimental
investigations of glasses in the R2O(RO)–Al2O3–B2O3 (R = Li, Na, Ca, and Ba) system. A method is proposed
for calculating the structural linear expansion coefficients of these glasses from the chemical composition with
a mean relative error of ~10%. The possibilities of extending the composition range covered by the calculation
are considered.
