Item Name:
Fused Quartz Tubing - 45mm x 1.5mm
SKU:
ABRQT109
Description:
This fused quartz tubing is precision-formed clear quartz tube stock intended for high-heat torchwork and scientific-style glass work where thermal stability matters. Fused quartz is valued in lampworking for its ability to tolerate very high working temperatures and rapid temperature changes compared with standard soda-lime or borosilicate glass. It is commonly selected when you need a clean, stable tube for making high-temperature components, sleeves, liners, or specialty parts that will be exposed to intense heat or thermal cycling.
How it is used:
- Cut the tubing to length using appropriate glass cutting methods for quartz tubing, then fire-polish the cut edge to remove sharpness and reduce stress.
- Use it as starting tube stock for forming and sealing operations at the torch when building high-temperature assemblies or specialty components.
- Use it as a protective sleeve or liner in setups where a heat-resistant, low-expansion tube is needed near the flame or other high-heat zones.
