Item Name:
Fused Quartz Tubing - 18mm x 1mm
SKU:
ABRQT64
Description:
This fused quartz tubing is clear, high-purity quartz tubing made for applications where you need excellent heat tolerance and strong resistance to thermal shock. Fused quartz is formed by fusing silica into a non-crystalline glass, which allows it to handle extreme torch heat and rapid temperature changes better than most common glass types used at the bench. This 16mm x 18mm size provides a relatively slim wall that is useful when you need a lighter, more responsive tube for heat-resistant sleeves, spacers, and specialty tube sections in scientific-style lampworking builds, especially when the part may see direct flame exposure.
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: 16.00mm
- Outer Diameter: 18.00mm
- Wall Thickness: 1.00mm
- Standard Length: 4'
