Item Name:
Fused Quartz Tubing - 166mm x 3mm
SKU:
ABRQT157
Description:
This fused quartz tubing is made from high-purity silica and is selected for applications where extreme temperature capability, thermal shock resistance, and chemical durability are required. In scientific glassblowing and high-heat fabrication, fused quartz is used when standard glass is not appropriate due to temperature limits or when process cleanliness and stability are critical.
With a large outside diameter and a thinner wall, this tubing is often chosen when you need substantial internal volume while keeping overall weight and heat-up time more manageable than a heavy-wall tube. It is commonly used as raw stock for custom quartz components such as process tubes, sleeves, and large tube sections that will be exposed to intense heat or rapid temperature changes.
How it is used:
- Used as raw stock for scientific glass fabrication when a build requires fused quartz rather than standard glass
- Cut and prepped for custom work such as process tubes, sleeves, and large tube sections depending on the application
- Worked with quartz-capable torches and appropriate ventilation, using controlled heat to manage quartz’s working characteristics
