Item Name:
Fused Quartz Tubing - 221mm x 5mm
SKU:
ABRQT172
Description:
This is a piece of fused quartz tubing supplied as a straight, clear tube. Fused quartz is used in scientific lampworking and other high-heat fabrication work when you need a material that tolerates extreme temperatures and rapid heating and cooling cycles better than standard glass. Tubing in this size range is typically chosen for large technical builds where a wide tube is needed for fabrication, joining, adapting to other components, or building larger quartz assemblies that must stay stable during aggressive torch work.
How it is used:
- Heat the working area evenly with an appropriate torch and flame chemistry for quartz work so the tube comes up to temperature without localized stress.
- Rotate the tube continuously while heating to keep the wall temperature even and to maintain roundness.
- Use it as the main body for large-diameter quartz assemblies, then cut, join, flare, or seal it as your build requires using standard quartz-working techniques.
- Cool in a controlled way appropriate to quartz work to reduce stress after major seals or heavy reforming.
