Item Name:

Fused Quartz Rod - 16.0mm

SKU:

ABRQR16

Description:

This fused quartz rod is a solid, clear quartz rod with a 16.0mm diameter. In lampworking and scientific torchwork, fused quartz is used when you need a material that tolerates very high heat and maintains stability under demanding flame exposure. A 16.0mm rod is commonly chosen for forming sturdier components, building larger structural sections, and making or repairing parts where thermal stability and cleanliness are important.

How it is used:

• Warm the rod slowly and evenly, then bring a broad working zone up to temperature before bending, pushing, or pulling to shape.
• Use it to form larger high-heat parts such as supports, handles, spacers, or structural elements used in scientific-style assemblies and specialty torchwork.
• Fire-polish ends after cutting, then cool in a controlled way appropriate for quartz work.

Dimensions:

• Size 16.00mm
• Length 4'
• Ovality +/- 1%
• Bow 1.3mm per 1220mm length
• O.D. tolerances plus or minus 1.5%
