With a Tungsten Carbide scribe, scratch once around the inside

knuckle of the article. Then scratch an "x" across the entire
inside bottom surface of the article. All scratches are to be
made using sufficient pressure to penetrate the surface of the
ASTM F2179-02 glass.

After using either method, fill each article with water at the
same room temperature as the glass. Wait 15 minutes, then
empty the water and examine each piece for fractures. Report
the number of fractures, if any, for each test.

If no breakage occurs - break it to verify whether it's annealed

or tempered glass.
