Item Name:
Fused Quartz Tubing - 24mm x 2mm
SKU:
ABRQT78
Description:
This is a piece of fused quartz tubing with a 20mm inner diameter and a 24mm outer diameter. Fused quartz is a high-purity silica material chosen when you need exceptional heat resistance, very low thermal expansion, and strong performance in high-temperature flame and kiln environments. In lampworking and scientific glass work, quartz tubing is used when borosilicate is not suitable due to heat load, thermal shock demands, or contamination concerns. This size is commonly selected for building or repairing quartz components, making sleeves and liners, and fabricating parts that must tolerate intense localized heat without deforming.
How it is used:
- Cut the tubing to length using quartz-appropriate cutting methods, then clean thoroughly to remove dust and handling residue.
- Heat and work the quartz with an oxygen-rich torch setup suitable for quartz, keeping the heat even to reduce stress.
- Use the tubing as a structural body, sleeve, or liner depending on the project, then anneal according to quartz-appropriate practice to reduce internal stress.
Dimensions:
- Inner Diameter: 20.00mm
- Outer Diameter: 24.00mm
- Wall Thickness: 2.00mm
- Standard Length: 4'
