Item Name:
Fused Quartz Tubing - 15.8mm x 1.4mm
SKU:
ABRQT55
Description:
This fused quartz tubing is a clear, high-purity quartz tube manufactured with consistent wall thickness for high-heat torchwork and laboratory-style fabrication. Fused quartz is chosen when you need excellent thermal shock resistance and stability at temperatures that would deform or devitrify many other glasses. In lampworking, it is commonly used for making and repairing quartz components, sleeves, liners, and specialty parts where clean, stable heat performance matters. This size is specified as 15.8mm outside diameter with a 1.4mm wall thickness, which provides a practical balance of rigidity and workability for small-to-medium quartz builds.
How it is used:
- Cut the tubing to length using methods appropriate for fused quartz, then fire-polish or dress the cut edge as needed for your application.
- Heat and form the tubing with an oxygen and fuel torch suited for quartz work, keeping the heat even to avoid localized stress.
- Use it to build or repair quartz parts such as sleeves, protective liners, and custom components where high temperature performance and thermal shock resistance are required.
- Anneal and cool in a controlled way appropriate for fused quartz work to reduce internal stress in finished components.
Dimensions:
- Inner diameter: 13.00mm
- Outer diameter: 15.80mm
