Item Name:
Fused Quartz Tubing - 4mm x 0.5mm
SKU:
ABRQT12
Description:
This is fused quartz tubing with a 3mm inner diameter and a 4mm outer diameter. Fused quartz is a high-purity silica glass known for exceptional heat resistance and thermal shock resistance, making it a go-to material when you need clean, stable tubing that can handle aggressive flame work and rapid temperature changes. In lampworking and scientific-style glasswork, small-diameter quartz tubing is commonly chosen for making and repairing high-heat components, creating small sleeves and liners, and for jobs where you want minimal contamination and strong performance at elevated temperatures.
How it is used:
- Cut the tubing to length using appropriate glass cutting methods for quartz, then flame polish the cut end as needed for safer handling and better fit.
- Use it as a small sleeve, liner, or spacer where heat resistance is critical, especially near hot zones where standard glass would soften or devitrify more easily.
- Join and shape it with proper quartz-working technique and sufficient heat, keeping the work evenly heated to reduce stress and cracking.
Dimensions:
- Inner Diameter: 3.00mm
