Item Name:
Fused Quartz Tubing - 13mm x 1.5mm
SKU:
ABRQT44
Description:
This fused quartz tubing is clear, precision-drawn tube stock made from fused quartz with a consistent round profile and smooth surface. In lampworking and scientific glass work, fused quartz is used when you need outstanding thermal shock resistance, very low thermal expansion, and dependable performance at high working temperatures. This size is well-suited for smaller high-temperature tube components where you want a manageable diameter that heats evenly, stays stable during forming, and tolerates repeated heat cycling without deforming easily.
How it is used:
- Bring the tube up to temperature gradually, then heat evenly in a neutral flame while rotating continuously for uniform wall temperature.
- Use it as starting stock for small quartz tube components such as sleeves, liners, and protective sections where thermal stability is critical.
- Cut to length using appropriate cutting methods for quartz tubing, then fire-polish the cut edge as needed for safer handling and cleaner fit-up.
- Join to compatible quartz parts using controlled heat and careful alignment to reduce stress and keep the tube straight and true.
Dimensions:
- Inner diameter: 10.00mm
- Outer diameter: 13.00mm
