Item Name:
Fused Quartz Tubing - 48mm x 1.5mm
SKU:
ABRQT112
Description:
This is fused quartz tubing with a 45mm inner diameter and a 48mm outer diameter. Fused quartz is a high-purity silica glass chosen for its excellent high-temperature performance and strong resistance to thermal shock, which is why it is widely used for demanding lampworking and scientific-style fabrication where standard glass can soften, slump, or crack more easily. This size is useful when you need a large, stable tube for high-heat assemblies, protective sleeves, and structural components that must hold their shape in intense flame and hot-zone conditions. The 3mm wall thickness provides a practical balance of strength and workability, giving you enough mass for durability without becoming excessively slow to heat and manipulate.
How it is used:
- Cut the tubing to 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 high-heat sleeve or outer tube where temperature stability and thermal shock resistance are critical, such as around hot-zone parts or as a protective liner.
- 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: 45.00mm
