Item Name
Fused Quartz Tubing - 61mm x 2mm
SKU
ABRQT121
Description
Fused quartz tubing is manufactured from high-purity silica that has been melted and formed into seamless tubular stock. This 57mm inner diameter by 61mm outer diameter tubing features a 2mm wall thickness, providing structural integrity while maintaining the exceptional thermal properties that fused quartz is renowned for. The tubing is constructed through a precision fusion process that eliminates impurities and creates a homogeneous material with outstanding optical clarity and thermal stability. Fused quartz is fundamentally different from borosilicate glass—it has a much higher melting point of approximately 1650°C and exhibits extremely low thermal expansion characteristics, making it ideal for high-temperature applications where thermal shock resistance is critical. This material can be heated to over 1,100°C and rapidly cooled without cracking, a property that makes it invaluable in scientific glassblowing and laboratory applications. The tubing is supplied in 4-foot lengths, providing ample material for custom fabrication, apparatus construction, or specialized laboratory equipment assembly.
