Description:
Simax 52mm x 3.5mm Clear Tubing is heavy-wall clear tubing made for borosilicate lampworking and scientific glass fabrication where strength, stability, and clean seals are important. Simax tubing is valued for consistent wall thickness and reliable working behavior, which matters when you are doing larger diameter joins, building outer sleeves, or forming sections that need to stay round while you heat, inflate, and shape. At 52mm outside diameter, this size is commonly chosen for larger assemblies, jackets, and housings where you want plenty of glass mass to support grinding, shaping, and strong tube-to-tube seals. The 3.5mm wall thickness gives you a durable tube that holds heat well and provides a solid foundation for forming, flaring, and attaching components.
How it is used:
- Use as a starting tube for larger hollow builds, then heat and inflate to form bulbs, reservoirs, or expanded sections
- Cut and join for outer sleeves, collars, and jacketed assemblies where a larger outside diameter is required
- Flare, bevel, and fire-polish ends for clean mating surfaces prior to tube-to-tube sealing
- Build durable sections intended for later coldworking such as trimming, facing, or grinding
Dimensions:
- 52mm outside diameter
- 3.5mm wall thickness
- Approximately 9 Pieces per Case
Special notes:
We are not able to cut tubes larger than 38mm and rods larger than 18mm to ensure the safety of our employees. Cases ship individually in a 65" box.
