Item Name:
Fused Quartz Rod - 2.5mm
SKU:
ABRQR2.5
Description:
This fused quartz rod is a solid, clear quartz rod with a 2.5mm diameter. Small-diameter fused quartz rod is used in lampworking and other high-heat glass shop applications when you need a thin, rigid material that tolerates extreme temperatures and rapid heating and cooling cycles. This size is especially useful for fine, heat-resistant pins, small supports, and delicate shop-made components where a thicker rod would be too bulky. It is a good choice when you want a clean, stable clear rod that can be repeatedly exposed to flame or kiln heat without the same risk of cracking or slumping you would see with standard glass.
How it is used:
- Used as raw stock for making small high-heat pins, posts, and supports for lampworking and kiln work
- Can be cut and shaped into thin heat-resistant components for jigs, fixtures, and shop setups
- Useful for fine-detail applications where a rigid, heat-tolerant clear rod is needed in repeated heating and cooling cycles
Dimensions:
- Size 2.50mm
- Length 4'
- Ovality 0.10mm
- Bow 1.3mm per 1220mm length
- O.D. tolerances plus or minus 0.25mm
