In this research the melt quenching technique method was used to synthesize two series of borotellurite glass systems doped with manganese and strontium. Elastic measurement, X-Ray Diffraction and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy were used to characterize the prepared glass samples. The increment of molar volume confirmed the theory that molar volume is inversely proportional to the density parameters. A broad hump appeared in XRD as the samples shown pure amorphous nature. In FTIR, the functional group vibrations of tellurite network were recorded such as TeO4 trigonal bipyramids and TeO3 trigonal pyramids by addition of both dopants. On the other hand, ultrasonic velocity was used to determine the elastic moduli of the glass such as bulk modulus, shear modulus, longitudinal modulus, Young’s Modulus, microhardness and Poisson’s ratio which showed decreasing and increasing trends with the increased concentration of MnO2 and SrO respectively.
