Glasses of silicate, borosilicate, aluminosilicate and aluminoborosilicate systems are considered. Expressions have been obtained for determining the activation energy of hydrogen permeability, the hydrogen permeability coefficient depending on the content of all, without exception, the components included in the studied glasses, comparing glasses of different compositions in terms of permeability and permeability; glass when heated. The limits of changes in these criteria are determined. It is proved that silicate glasses impermeable to hydrogen do not exist
