Item Name:
Fused Quartz Tubing - 228mm x 4mm
SKU:
ABRQT176
Description:
This is a piece of fused quartz tubing supplied as a straight, clear tube. Fused quartz is used in scientific lampworking and high-heat glass fabrication when you need excellent thermal stability and strong resistance to thermal shock compared to standard glass. Tubing in this diameter range is typically selected for large technical builds where a wide tube is required for fabrication, adapting to other components, or building larger assemblies that must tolerate aggressive heating and cooling cycles.
How it is used:
- Heat the working area evenly with an appropriate torch and flame chemistry for quartz work so the tube comes up to temperature without localized stress.
- Rotate the tube continuously while heating to keep the wall temperature even and to maintain roundness.
- Use it as the main body for large-diameter quartz assemblies, then cut, join, flare, or seal it as your build requires using standard quartz-working techniques.
- Cool in a controlled way appropriate to quartz work to reduce stress after major seals or heavy reforming.
