Proportions Simplified relation of the silicate sizes to illustrate the size relationships. Silicate sizes are in the nanometer range. The differences are very small. Therefore, the derivation of penetration based on the different silicate sizes is only possible to a very limited extent. 1,338 nm Sodium silicate Lithium silicate Potassium silicate 1,158 nm 1,022 nm 42 mm 57 mm 38 mm billard ball golf ball table tennis ball Pore size in concrete 0,001 mm ≈ 1000 nm (assumption) length of a handball field 46
