Description:

This fused quartz rod is a solid, clear quartz rod with a 2.0mm diameter. In lampworking and scientific torchwork, small diameter fused quartz rod is used when you need a material that tolerates very high heat and rapid temperature changes better than most glass types. It is commonly used for fine, heat-exposed components, small structural details, and specialty parts where cleanliness and thermal stability matter.

How it is used:

• Warm the rod gradually and evenly, then bring it up to working temperature before making tight bends or fine details.
• Use it to form small supports, pins, hooks, or fine structural elements in high-heat torchwork and scientific-style assemblies.
• Fire-polish ends after cutting, then cool in a controlled way appropriate for quartz work.

Dimensions:

• Size 2.00mm
• Length 4'
• Ovality 0.10mm
• Bow 1.3mm per 1220mm length
• O.D. tolerances plus or minus 0.20mm
