Item Name:
Fused Quartz Rod - 13.0mm
SKU:
ABRQR13
Description:
This fused quartz rod is a clear quartz stock rod with a 13.0mm diameter, used when you need strong heat resistance and excellent thermal shock performance. In lampworking and scientific glass work, fused quartz is commonly chosen for fabricating or repairing quartz components and specialty parts that may see rapid heating and cooling or sustained high temperatures. The 13.0mm diameter is a practical size for general shop fabrication, giving you enough mass for stable forming while still being manageable for pulling down into smaller sections and transitions.
How it is used:
- Heat the rod evenly and rotate consistently so the full diameter comes up to temperature without creating hot spots.
- Use it as raw stock for forming quartz parts such as handles, stirs, paddles, adapters, and other custom components depending on your application.
- Pull down sections to smaller diameters when you need transitions while keeping a quartz-to-quartz build.
Dimensions:
- Size 13.00mm
- Length 4'
- Ovality +/- 1%
- Bow 1.3mm per 1220mm length
- O.D. tolerances plus or minus 1.5%
