Item Name:
Fused Quartz Tubing - 16mm x 1.5mm
SKU:
ABRQT56
Description:
This fused quartz tubing is sized at 13mm inner diameter by 16mm outer diameter, giving you a 1.5mm wall. Fused quartz is used in lampworking and scientific glass work when you need strong resistance to thermal shock and a tube that stays dimensionally stable through repeated heating and cooling. This size is a practical middle ground when you want a larger bore than small capillary-style tubing, but still want a manageable wall thickness for clean end finishing and reliable fit-up in heat-resistant assemblies.
How it is used:
- Cut to length and fire-polish the ends to smooth the opening and reduce edge chipping
- Use as a heat-stable sleeve or liner where consistent outer diameter helps with alignment and fit
- Incorporate into torchworked builds that need a durable tube section with predictable wall thickness
- Use for larger-bore pathways where you want more strength than thin-wall tubing without going to heavy-wall stock
Dimensions:
- Inner diameter: 13.00mm
- Outer diameter: 16.00mm
- Wall thickness: 1.50mm
- Standard Length: 4'
