Item Name:
Fused Quartz Rod - 25.0mm
SKU:
ABRQR25
Description:
This is a solid fused quartz rod with a 25.0 mm diameter. Fused quartz is a high-purity silica glass selected for applications that demand excellent heat resistance and very low thermal expansion, which helps it tolerate rapid heating and cooling with reduced risk of thermal shock compared with many other glasses. In lampworking and scientific-style fabrication, a larger diameter quartz rod is commonly chosen when you need more working mass for shaping and sealing, when the part needs added stiffness, or when you want extra material available for turning, grinding, or machining to final dimensions.
How it is used:
- Used as stock for fabricating larger quartz components where the added diameter provides strength and working mass for shaping.
- Used for repairs or modifications to quartz assemblies when compatible quartz material is required.
- Used in scientific glassworking applications where a clean, high-temperature clear material is preferred for functional parts.
Dimensions:
- Size 25.00mm
- Length 4'
- Ovality +/- 1%
- Bow 1.3mm per 1220mm length
- O.D. tolerances plus or minus 1.5%
