Item Name:
Fused Quartz Tubing - 176mm x 3mm
SKU:
ABRQT160
Description:
This fused quartz tubing is a large-diameter, heavy-wall quartz tube intended for high-temperature, high-purity applications where standard glass is not suitable. Fused quartz is manufactured from high-purity silica and is valued in scientific glassblowing and thermal processing because it tolerates extreme heat, rapid temperature changes, and harsh service conditions while maintaining excellent clarity and stability.
In a glassworking shop, tubing in this size range is commonly selected when you need a robust quartz body for custom fabrication, high-heat process tubes, or specialty components where contamination control and temperature performance are critical.
How it is used:
- Used as raw stock for scientific glass fabrication when a project calls for fused quartz rather than borosilicate
- Cut and prepped for custom builds such as process tubes, sleeves, or large chamber sections depending on the application
- Typically worked with quartz-capable torches and proper ventilation, with careful heat management due to quartz’s working characteristics
