Item Name:
Fused Quartz Tubing - 15.8mm x 2.65mm
SKU:
ABRQT48
Description:
This fused quartz tubing is precision-drawn clear quartz tube stock with a consistent round profile and a smooth surface finish. Fused quartz is chosen in lampworking and scientific glass work when you need exceptional heat tolerance, low thermal expansion, and strong resistance to thermal shock compared with most common glass types. This size is commonly selected when you need a tube that can be heated and worked for high-temperature applications, sleeves, liners, and components where stability in the flame and during rapid heating and cooling matters.
How it is used:
- Heat the tubing evenly in a neutral flame and rotate continuously to keep the wall temperature uniform and prevent localized overheating.
- Use it as starting stock for making high-temperature tube components such as sleeves, adapters, and protective liners where thermal shock resistance is important.
- Cut to length with appropriate glass cutting methods for quartz tubing, then fire-polish the cut edge as needed for safer handling and better fit-up in assemblies.
- Join to compatible quartz components using proper quartz-working technique and controlled heat to maintain alignment and avoid stressing the tube.
