Item Name:
Fused Quartz Tubing - 9.75mm x 1mm
SKU:
ABRQT35
Description:
This fused quartz tubing is precision-manufactured from high-purity fused silica into a straight, consistent tube with a smooth bore and uniform wall thickness. Fused quartz is selected in advanced lampworking and scientific glasswork when you need superior thermal shock resistance, exceptional high-temperature stability, and reliable performance in intense, oxidizing flame environments.
In practical torch work, this larger size is ideal for building and repairing substantial quartz components, creating protective sleeves and liners for sensitive applications, or constructing high-temperature passages where standard glass would soften or devitrify. The increased diameter provides greater structural integrity for complex assemblies.
How it is used:
- Cut to length using appropriate cutting methods for quartz, then carefully dress and clean the cut ends before heating
- Heat evenly and patiently to avoid localized thermal stress, then shape or join using precise quartz-appropriate torch technique
- Use as a straight tube section, a protective sleeve, or a high-temperature liner depending on your specific build requirements
- Anneal and cool in a controlled manner to minimize residual stress in finished assemblies
