The aim of this study was to determine the principle cause of variation in a measured glass durability using a melt-quenching method. Further goal for this study was to find the optimum level of the factor for producing the glass durability. For that purpose, One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was performed. From the analysis, it was found that all longitudinal modulus, shear modulus 2 and shear modulus 3 were the significant parameters that produced high quality of glass durability (p<0.05). The mean analysis revealed that the best condition that maximizes the average of Longitudinal Modulus 1, 2 and 3 would be when the erbium concentration was 0.05. It was found that the erbium concentration with 0.03 produced the optimum Longitudinal Modulus 4 and 5. The findings also pointed out that the average of Shear Modulus 2 and 3 was maximized when the erbium concentration was 0.03 and 0.05, respectively.
