Item Name:
Fused Quartz Tubing - 50mm x 1.5mm
SKU:
ABRQT114
Description:
This is fused quartz tubing with a 47mm inner diameter and a 50mm outer diameter. Fused quartz is a high-purity silica glass valued for its ability to tolerate very high temperatures and rapid temperature changes with less risk of cracking than many other glasses. In lampworking and scientific-style glasswork, large-diameter quartz tubing is selected when you need a heat-stable tube for high-heat assemblies, durable sleeves, and components that must hold their shape and performance in intense flame and hot-zone conditions. The 3mm wall thickness provides a strong balance of rigidity and workable mass for fabrication and sealing operations where thin tubing would be too fragile and heavy-wall tubing would be slower to heat and manipulate.
How it is used:
- Cut the tubing to the required length using appropriate quartz cutting methods, then dress and flame polish the cut edge as needed for fit and safer handling.
- Use it as a high-heat outer tube, sleeve, or structural body where thermal shock resistance and temperature stability matter more than easy melting and fast shaping.
- Heat and work it evenly, keeping a broad heat base to reduce stress, then bring specific zones up to working temperature for forming, sealing, or joining operations.
