Item Name:
Fused Quartz Tubing - 183mm x 6.35mm
SKU:
ABRQT161
Description:
This fused quartz tubing is a large-diameter, clear quartz tube made for high-temperature and thermal-shock-demanding work where standard glass tubing is not appropriate. In scientific lampworking and other high-heat fabrication, fused quartz is used because it maintains stability under intense heat and repeated thermal cycling. Tubing in this diameter range is commonly chosen for larger builds and specialty components that are typically fabricated on a glass lathe, where the tube can be cut to length, faced, and joined into more complex assemblies.
How it is used:
- Used as tubing stock for fabricating custom quartz components for high-heat and thermal-cycling applications.
- Commonly worked on a glass lathe for cutting, facing ends, joining sections, and forming transitions to other quartz parts.
- Chosen when the job requires strong resistance to heat shock and sustained high-temperature exposure.
