Item Name:
Fused Quartz Tubing - 6mm x 2.5mm
SKU:
ABRQT5
Description:
This fused quartz tubing is a small-diameter clear quartz tube made for high-heat torchwork and precision fabrication. Fused quartz is used when you need excellent thermal shock resistance and stability under sustained heat, especially for parts that see repeated heating and cooling cycles. In lampworking, tubing in this size range is commonly chosen for fine detail work, small sleeves and liners, and compact quartz components where you want a narrow outside diameter with a thin wall that heats quickly and responds fast in the flame. This size is specified as 6mm outside diameter with a 1mm wall thickness, making it a practical choice for small, controlled builds where weight and responsiveness matter.
How it is used:
- Cut the tubing to length using methods appropriate for fused quartz, then dress the cut edge as needed for your application.
- Heat the tube evenly with an oxygen and fuel torch suited for quartz work to reduce the chance of stress from uneven heating.
- Use it for small quartz components such as sleeves, liners, and compact high-heat parts where a narrow tube is required.
- Cool and anneal in a controlled way appropriate for fused quartz work to reduce internal stress in finished parts.
Dimensions:
- Inner diameter: 1.00mm
