Item Name:
Fused Quartz Tubing - 12.75mm x 1.125mm
SKU:
ABRQT46
Description:
This fused quartz tubing is clear, precision-drawn tube stock made from high-purity fused quartz with a consistent round profile and smooth surface. In lampworking and scientific glass work, fused quartz is selected when you need excellent thermal shock resistance, very low thermal expansion, and reliable performance at high working temperatures. This diameter and wall combination is a practical choice for smaller high-temperature components where you want a tube that heats evenly, holds its shape well in the flame, and tolerates rapid temperature changes during fabrication and use.
How it is used:
- Warm the tube gradually and heat it evenly in a neutral flame while rotating continuously to keep the wall temperature uniform.
- Use it as starting stock for small high-temperature tube components such as sleeves, liners, and protective sections where thermal stability matters.
- Cut to length using appropriate cutting methods for quartz tubing, then fire-polish the cut edge as needed for safer handling and better fit-up.
- Join to compatible quartz parts using controlled heat and careful alignment to reduce stress and keep the tube true.
