Item Name:
Fused Quartz Tubing - 5mm x 2mm
SKU:
ABRQT4
Description:
This fused quartz tubing is clear, precision-drawn tube stock made from fused quartz with a consistent round profile and smooth surface. In lampworking and scientific glass work, fused quartz is used when you need excellent thermal shock resistance, very low thermal expansion, and stable performance at high working temperatures. This small size is commonly chosen for fine, high-heat tubing work where control and consistency matter, such as small sleeves, liners, and compact tube components that must tolerate repeated heating and cooling without cracking easily.
How it is used:
- Warm the tube gradually, then heat evenly in a neutral flame while rotating continuously to keep the wall temperature uniform.
- Use it as starting stock for small high-temperature tube components such as fine sleeves, liners, and protective sections where thermal stability is important.
- Cut to length using appropriate cutting methods for quartz tubing, then fire-polish the cut edge as needed for safer handling and cleaner fit-up.
- Join to compatible quartz parts using controlled heat and careful alignment to reduce stress and keep the tube straight.
