Item Name:
Fused Quartz Tubing - 20.5mm x 1.25mm
SKU:
ABRQT70
Description:
This is a piece of clear fused quartz tubing sized 18mm inner diameter by 20.5mm outer diameter. Fused quartz is a high-silica glass chosen for applications where you need exceptional heat resistance, low thermal expansion, and strong thermal shock performance compared to standard soda-lime or borosilicate glasses. In lampworking and scientific glass work, quartz tubing is commonly selected when the working environment involves very high temperatures, rapid heating and cooling cycles, or exposure to aggressive conditions where dimensional stability matters.
How it is used:
- Used as raw tubing stock for quartz fabrication, including making or repairing high-temperature components such as sleeves, liners, and protective tubes.
- Worked with an oxygen and hydrogen torch system when forming, sealing, collapsing, or welding quartz, since quartz requires higher working temperatures than typical lampworking glass.
- Cut to length and the ends can be fire-polished or shaped during fabrication depending on the intended assembly or fixture.
Dimensions:
- Inner Diameter: 18.00mm
- Outer Diameter: 20.50mm
- Wall Thickness: 1.25mm
- Standard Length: 4'
