RE: Tempered Glass- E value, and tensile strength??

(OP)
OK, this is sad, but I'll answer my own Question for the sake of someone in the future searching for these values.

i foulnd these through google:

"E" for Most glass seems to be of the order of 10000ksi

The ultimate tensile stress of fully tempered glass is 24ksi, while "regular" glass is of the order of 10ksi.
