Item Name:
Fused Quartz Tubing - 8mm x 3mm
SKU:
ABRQT10
Description:
This is fused quartz tubing made from high-purity quartz glass and formed into a straight, round tube with a consistent wall. Fused quartz is used in lampworking and scientific glass work when you need material that holds up to very high heat, resists thermal shock, and stays dimensionally stable during heating and cooling cycles. This small size is typically chosen for fine fabrication work where tight tolerances, small passages, and clean, controlled seals matter, such as small sleeves, liners, and precision tube assemblies.
How it is used:
- Score and snap or cut to length using methods appropriate for quartz tubing, then dress the cut edge to remove sharpness and reduce stress points.
- Heat evenly while rotating to bring the tube up to working temperature without overheating one side.
- Use as a small process or connection tube in quartz builds where heat resistance and low expansion are required.
- Seal to other quartz components by keeping alignment true and maintaining even wall distribution through the join to minimize stress.
Dimensions:
- Inner Diameter: 2.00mm
- Outer Diameter: 8.00mm
- Wall Thickness: 3.00mm
- Standard Length: 4'
