Item Name:
Fused Quartz Rod - 3.5mm
SKU:
ABRQR3.5
Description:
This is a solid fused quartz rod with a 3.5 mm diameter. Fused quartz is a high-purity silica glass valued in lampworking for its exceptional heat resistance and very low thermal expansion, which helps it tolerate rapid temperature changes compared with many other glasses. It is commonly chosen when you need a clear, stable material for high-heat work, for making or repairing quartz components, or for fabricating parts where thermal shock resistance and cleanliness are critical.
How it is used:
- Used as raw stock for fabricating quartz components at the torch, such as small rods, pins, or structural elements where high heat resistance is required.
- Used for repairs or modifications to existing quartz pieces when compatible quartz material is needed.
- Used in scientific-style lampworking applications where a clean, high-temperature clear material is preferred.
Dimensions:
- Size 3.50mm
- Length 4'
- Ovality 0.10mm
- Bow 1.3mm per 1220mm length
- O.D. tolerances plus or minus 0.24mm
