Description:

Simax clear tubing is precision-drawn borosilicate glass tubing used in both scientific and artistic lampworking when you need clean clarity, consistent diameter, and predictable sealing behavior. The tubing is constructed as a straight hollow cylinder with a uniform wall, making it suitable for heating, stretching, sealing, and joining without introducing unwanted distortion. In scientific glass work, clear tubing like this is commonly used to fabricate and repair laboratory components, build connectors and manifolds, form sealed sections, and create custom parts where internal visibility matters. In artistic lampworking it is often used as starting stock for small blown forms, clean structural elements, and transparent sections that highlight interior detail. This diameter is typically chosen for smaller passageways, tighter joins, and lightweight components where control and even heat penetration are important.

How it is used:

• Heat the tubing evenly while rotating to keep the tube round and prevent flat spots
• Seal ends to create closed tubes, test sections, or preforms for further shaping
• Join to compatible borosilicate tubing and fittings using standard sealing techniques
• Pull down into smaller diameter tubing or use as starting stock for custom transitions
• Blow small expansions to form bulbs, reservoirs, and shaped sections for scientific or artistic builds

Dimensions:

• 115mm x 3mm clear tubing
• Approximately 3 Pieces per Case

Special notes:

We are not able to cut tubes larger 38mm and rods larger than 18mm to ensure the safety of our employees. Cases ship individually in a 65" box.
