Item Name:
Fused Quartz Tubing - 8mm x 1mm
SKU:
ABRQT27
Description:
This fused quartz tubing is precision-made from high-purity fused silica into a straight, consistent tube with a smooth bore and uniform wall. Fused quartz is chosen in lampworking and scientific glass work when you need excellent thermal shock resistance, high working temperature capability, and clean, stable performance in hot, oxidizing flames.
In practical torch work, this size is commonly used anywhere you need a rigid, heat-tolerant tube for building or repairing quartz components, making sleeves and liners, or creating high-temperature passages where standard glass would soften or devitrify too easily.
How it is used:
- Cut to length using appropriate cutting methods for quartz, then dress and clean the cut ends before heating
- Heat evenly and patiently to avoid localized stress, then shape or join using quartz-appropriate torch technique
- Use as a straight tube section, a protective sleeve, or a high-temperature liner depending on the build
- Anneal and cool in a controlled way to minimize stress in finished assemblies
