Item Name:
Fused Quartz Tubing - 309mm x 4.5mm
SKU:
ABRQT195
Description:
This fused quartz tube is a large-diameter, high-purity silica tube made for applications where extreme heat stability and thermal shock resistance are critical. Fused quartz is valued in scientific and high-temperature glass work because it has very low thermal expansion, holds up well under rapid temperature changes, and maintains performance in environments that can be too demanding for typical lampworking glass.
In a shop setting, tubing in this size range is most often chosen for specialized fabrication, large custom assemblies, and high-heat process components where consistent material behavior and dimensional stability matter.
How it is used:
- Cut and sized using diamond tooling with proper coolant and dust control
- Used as a primary tube body for large scientific builds and custom high-temperature components
- Selected when low thermal expansion is needed to reduce cracking from rapid heating and cooling cycles
- Incorporated into projects that use quartz-compatible fabrication methods rather than standard borosilicate lampworking techniques
