Item Name:
Fused Quartz Tubing - 14mm x 1mm
SKU:
ABRQT51
Description:
This fused quartz tubing is a clear quartz tube designed for high-heat torchwork and laboratory-style fabrication where thermal stability and clean performance are critical. Fused quartz is selected when you need excellent thermal shock resistance and the ability to withstand repeated heating cycles without softening the way many common glasses will. In lampworking, this tubing is used for making and repairing quartz components, sleeves, liners, and other specialty parts that must tolerate intense heat and rapid temperature changes. This size is specified as 14mm outside diameter with a 1mm wall thickness, making it a lighter, more responsive tube that is well-suited to smaller quartz builds and detail-oriented fabrication.
How it is used:
- Cut the tubing to length using methods appropriate for fused quartz, then dress the cut edge as needed for your application.
- Heat the tube evenly with an oxygen and fuel torch suited for quartz work to reduce the chance of creating localized stress.
- Shape, flare, or form the tubing to create quartz sleeves, protective liners, and custom high-heat components.
- Cool and anneal in a controlled way appropriate for fused quartz work to reduce internal stress in finished parts.
Dimensions:
- Inner diameter: 12.00mm
- Outer diameter: 14.00mm
- Wall thickness: 1.00mm
- Standard Length: 4'
