Item Name:
Fused Quartz Tubing - 46mm x 2mm
SKU:
ABRQT110
Description:
This is fused quartz tubing with a 42mm inner diameter and a 46mm outer diameter. Fused quartz is a high-purity silica glass used when you need excellent heat resistance and strong thermal shock performance, especially in torch and scientific-style work where temperature swings are severe and dimensional stability matters. This tubing size is well suited for larger high-heat sleeves, outer bodies, and protective liners where standard glass can soften or deform too easily. With a 4mm wall thickness, it offers added rigidity and durability for fabrication work, while still being a practical thickness for controlled heating, forming, and joining when worked with proper quartz technique and sufficient heat.
How it is used:
- Cut the tube to the required length using appropriate quartz cutting methods, then smooth and flame polish the cut edge as needed for safer handling and better fit.
- Use it as a structural sleeve or outer tube in high-heat zones where you want the tube to stay stable and resist cracking from rapid heating and cooling.
- Heat the tube evenly with a broad heat base to reduce stress, then bring specific areas up to working temperature for forming, sealing, or joining operations.
Dimensions:
- Inner Diameter: 42.00mm
