Item Name:
Fused Quartz Rod - 15.0mm
SKU:
ABRQR15
Description:
This fused quartz rod is a clear quartz stock rod with a 15.0mm diameter, made for applications where heat resistance and thermal shock performance are important. In lampworking and scientific glass work, fused quartz is commonly used when you need a material that holds up under high temperatures and rapid temperature changes, making it well-suited for fabricating or repairing quartz components and specialty high-heat parts. The 15.0mm size is a versatile diameter that gives you enough mass for stable forming while still being workable for pulling down into smaller sections when needed.
How it is used:
- Heat the rod evenly and rotate consistently to bring the full diameter up to temperature without creating localized stress.
- Use it as raw stock for forming quartz parts such as handles, stirs, paddles, adapters, and other shop-made components depending on your build requirements.
- Pull down or reshape sections to transition into smaller diameters while keeping a quartz-to-quartz construction.
Dimensions:
- Size 15.00mm
- Length 4'
- Ovality +/- 1%
- Bow 1.3mm per 1220mm length
- O.D. tolerances plus or minus 1.5%
