Item Name:
Fused Quartz Tubing - 74mm x 2mm
SKU:
ABRQT128
Description:
This fused quartz tubing is a large diameter, thick wall clear quartz tube used for high heat lampworking and scientific glass applications where standard glass tubing is not suitable. It is constructed from fused quartz, a high purity silica material known for excellent thermal stability and resistance to thermal shock compared to most common glass types. In lampworking and scientific work, quartz tubing is used when you need a material that can tolerate extreme heat, rapid temperature changes, and aggressive working conditions, such as high temperature torch work, specialized lab components, and high heat sleeves or housings. The large size makes it especially useful for larger scale builds, protective outer tubes, and projects where strength and heat tolerance matter more than ease of shaping.
How it is used:
- Cut the tubing to length using appropriate quartz cutting methods and tools designed for hard silica materials.
- Heat and work the tubing with a torch setup capable of reaching quartz working temperatures and maintain even heat to reduce stress.
- Use it for high heat sleeves, outer housings, or scientific components where thermal shock resistance is critical.
- Anneal and cool in a controlled way appropriate for quartz work to reduce stress in finished components.
