Item Name:
Fused Quartz Tubing - 3mm x 1mm
SKU:
ABRQT2
Description:
This fused quartz tubing is clear, high-purity quartz glass tubing made as a straight, round tube with a consistent inside passage and outside diameter. In lampworking and scientific glass work, fused quartz is used when you need excellent thermal shock resistance and stability at high working temperatures, especially for parts that will be heated and cooled repeatedly. This small size is well-suited for fine detail tubing work where you want a narrow outside diameter and a small internal channel for controlled airflow, compact connections, or small functional components.
How it is used:
- Warm the tubing gradually and evenly in a neutral flame while rotating to keep the tube round and prevent kinks.
- Pull down and taper to make small stems, fine connectors, and narrow transitions while maintaining a clean internal passage.
- Seal and close ends to create small closed-end blanks before adding attachments or forming tips.
- Fuse to other quartz components by bringing both pieces to an even working temperature and joining with steady rotation for alignment.
- Fire-polish cut ends after sizing to reduce sharp edges and help minimize stress points.
