Item Name:
Fused Quartz Tubing - 5mm x 1.5mm
SKU:
ABRQT8
Description:
This fused quartz tubing is a small-diameter, clear quartz tube made for high-heat applications where standard glass is not suitable. Fused quartz is chosen in lampworking and scientific glass work because it tolerates extreme temperatures and rapid heating and cooling cycles with a much lower risk of thermal shock than typical soda lime or borosilicate glass. In the studio it is commonly used anywhere you need a clean, heat-resistant sleeve or liner, especially in small assemblies where tight clearances and precise fit matter.
How it is used:
- Used as a heat-resistant sleeve or protective tube around small components that need shielding from direct flame or radiant heat
- Used in scientific and shop-built assemblies where a small clear tube must withstand very high temperatures and rapid temperature changes
- Cut to length with appropriate cutting methods for quartz, then finished as needed for the specific assembly and equipment
Dimensions:
- Inner Diameter: 2.00mm
- Outer Diameter: 5.00mm
- Wall Thickness: 1.50mm
- Standard Length: 4'
