Item Name:
Fused Quartz Tubing - 268mm x 4mm
SKU:
ABRQT191
Description:
This fused quartz tubing is a large-diameter tube made from high-purity silica, produced for high-temperature and scientific applications where dimensional stability and thermal shock resistance are essential. Fused quartz is chosen for work that sees aggressive heat cycling because it has extremely low thermal expansion, helping it handle rapid temperature changes with less stress than many common glass types used around the torch.
In practical use, tubing in this size range is typically reserved for specialized fabrication and large custom assemblies where you need a stable, predictable material for high-heat service, process equipment components, or large apparatus builds.
How it is used:
- Cut and sized with diamond tooling using coolant and proper dust control
- Used as a main tube body for large scientific assemblies and custom high-temperature components
- Selected when low thermal expansion is needed to reduce cracking during rapid heating and cooling cycles
- Incorporated into builds that use quartz-compatible fabrication methods and equipment rather than standard borosilicate lampworking techniques
