Item Name:
Fused Quartz Tubing - 22.5mm x 1.25mm
SKU:
ABRQT76
Description:
This is a piece of fused quartz tubing with a 20mm inner diameter and a 22.5mm outer diameter. Fused quartz is a high-purity silica material used when you need excellent heat resistance, very low thermal expansion, and stability under intense localized flame heat. In lampworking and scientific glass work, quartz tubing is chosen for applications where standard glass is not ideal due to thermal shock concerns, high operating temperatures, or the need for a clean, high-purity material. This size is commonly used for fabricating or repairing quartz components, creating sleeves and liners, and building assemblies that must tolerate repeated heating and cooling without deforming.
How it is used:
- Cut the tubing to the needed length using quartz-appropriate cutting methods, then clean thoroughly to remove dust and oils.
- Heat and work the quartz with an oxygen-rich torch setup suitable for quartz, rotating consistently to keep the heat even and reduce stress.
- Use the tubing as a body tube, sleeve, or liner depending on the build, then anneal according to quartz-appropriate practice to minimize internal stress.
Dimensions:
- Inner Diameter: 20.00mm
