Item Name:
Fused Quartz Tubing - 280mm x 5mm
SKU:
ABRQT193
Description:
This fused quartz tubing is a large-diameter tube made from high-purity silica, produced for demanding high-temperature and scientific applications where stability matters more than ease of fabrication. Fused quartz is known for extremely low thermal expansion, which helps it tolerate rapid heating and cooling with far less risk of cracking compared to most common glass types used in lampworking.
Tubing in this diameter range is typically chosen for specialized custom fabrication, large apparatus work, and high-heat components where you need consistent material behavior, strong thermal shock resistance, and reliable performance in harsh environments.
How it is used:
- Cut and trimmed to length using diamond tooling with coolant and appropriate dust control
- Used as a main tube body for large scientific assemblies and custom high-temperature components
- Selected for builds where low thermal expansion helps reduce stress cracking during temperature cycling
- Incorporated into projects that use quartz-compatible fabrication methods and equipment rather than standard borosilicate lampworking techniques
