Item Name:
Fused Quartz Tubing - 77mm x 2mm
SKU:
ABRQT130
Description:
This fused quartz tubing is manufactured from high-purity fused silica into a large-diameter, straight tube with a smooth internal bore and consistent wall. In scientific lampworking and high-heat fabrication, fused quartz is used when you need outstanding thermal shock resistance and high-temperature stability in applications where standard glass would soften, devitrify, or contaminate the process.
At this diameter, the tubing is typically chosen for larger quartz assemblies, high-temperature sleeves and liners, furnace and process hardware, and builds where rigidity and heat tolerance are critical. The thicker, larger format also makes it well-suited for projects that need a stable tube that can be cut down into shorter sections for custom fabrication.
How it is used:
- Cut to length using quartz-appropriate cutting methods, then dress and clean the cut ends before heating
- Heat evenly and gradually to reduce thermal gradients, then shape or join using quartz-appropriate torch technique
- Use as a main body tube, a protective sleeve, or a high-temperature liner depending on the fabrication goal
- Cool in a controlled way to reduce stress in finished work
Dimensions:
- Inside diameter: 73.00 mm
- Outside diameter: 77.00 mm
- Wall Thickness: 2.00mm
- Standard length: 5'
