Item Name:
Fused Quartz Tubing - 17mm x 1mm
SKU:
ABRQT62
Description:
This fused quartz tubing is clear, high-purity quartz tubing designed for high-heat work where excellent thermal shock resistance is required. Fused quartz is made by fusing silica into a non-crystalline glass, giving it the ability to tolerate rapid heating and cooling and sustained high temperatures that can damage many other glass materials. This 15mm x 17mm size provides a compact outside diameter with a 1mm wall, making it a good choice when you need a lighter, more responsive tube for heat-resistant sleeves, spacers, and specialty tube sections in scientific-style lampworking builds, especially for parts that may be exposed to direct flame or intense radiant heat.
How it is used:
- Used as heat-resistant tubing for high-temperature applications where extreme flame exposure or rapid heating and cooling are expected
- Cut and incorporated into custom assemblies such as protective sleeves, spacers, or structural tube sections in scientific-style builds
- Used for prototypes and repairs when a project calls for quartz specifically rather than borosilicate or soft glass
Dimensions:
- Inner Diameter: 15.00mm
- Outer Diameter: 17.00mm
- Wall Thickness: 1.00mm
- Standard Length: 4'
