Item Name:
Fused Quartz Tubing - 228mm x 4mm
SKU:
ABRQT178
Description:
This is a piece of fused quartz tubing supplied as a straight, clear tube. Fused quartz is chosen in glassworking and scientific lampworking when you need a material that tolerates very high heat and rapid temperature change compared to standard glass. Tubing in this size range is commonly selected for larger technical builds where a wide tube is required for fabrication, joining, or adapting to other components in a quartz system.
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.
- Anneal and cool in a controlled way appropriate to quartz work to reduce stress after major seals or heavy reforming.
