Fused Quartz Tubing - 30mm x 2.5mm

SKU:

ABRQT231

Description:

This fused quartz tubing is produced from high-purity silica that is melted and drawn into a seamless, uniform tube with consistent wall thickness and excellent clarity. With a 30 mm outside diameter and a 2.5 mm wall, this size offers a strong balance of rigidity and workable mass, making it well-suited for larger scientific lampworking builds where the tubing must stay straight, resist sagging, and tolerate aggressive thermal cycling. Fused quartz is selected in scientific glassblowing when the application demands very high temperature capability, low thermal expansion, and chemical purity, especially in environments where standard glass materials are more likely to stress-crack or deform. This diameter range is commonly used for larger process tubes, protective sleeves, and structural sections in high-heat assemblies, including components that may be clamped, supported, or exposed to repeated heating and cooling during operation.

How it is used:

• Cut to length and fire-polish ends to reduce edge chipping and improve handling safety
• Used as a larger-diameter process tube for high-temperature experimental or production setups
• Used as an outer sleeve or protective jacket over internal parts that need shielding from direct flame or radiant heat
• Incorporated into custom scientific assemblies where thermal shock resistance is critical
• Worked with an oxy-hydrogen style flame for forming, sealing, and major shaping operations due to quartz’s higher working temperature

Dimensions:

• Outer Diameter: 30.00 mm
• Wall Thickness: 2.50 mm
