Item Name:
Fused Quartz Rod - 20.0mm
SKU:
ABRQR20
Description:
This fused quartz rod is a solid, clear quartz rod with a 20.0mm diameter. Fused quartz is chosen in lampworking and scientific glass work when you need a material with very high temperature capability and excellent thermal stability compared to most glass types. It is commonly used for making or repairing high-heat components, forming parts that will see direct flame exposure, and for applications where cleanliness and low contamination are important.
How it is used:
- Heat the rod gradually and evenly to reduce thermal shock risk, then work it in the flame to form the shape you need.
- Use it to build or repair high-heat parts such as handles, adapters, spacers, or other components used in scientific and specialty torchwork.
- Fire-polish and finish edges as needed after shaping, then allow the piece to cool in a controlled way appropriate for quartz work.
Dimensions:
- Size 20.00mm
- Length 4'
- Ovality +/- 1%
- Bow 1.3mm per 1220mm length
