Item Name:
Fused Quartz Tubing - 10.4mm x 1.7mm
SKU:
ABRQT34
Description:
This fused quartz tubing is produced from high-purity fused silica into a straight, precision-sized tube with a smooth internal bore and consistent outside diameter. In scientific lampworking, fused quartz is chosen when you need exceptional resistance to thermal shock and high working-temperature stability for parts that would be pushed beyond the safe range of standard glass.
This size is commonly used for smaller high-heat components, protective sleeves, and process tubing where you want the cleanliness and heat performance of quartz in a manageable diameter. It is also a practical format for cutting into shorter sections for custom builds, repairs, and experimental setups.
How it is used:
- Cut to length using quartz-appropriate cutting methods, then dress and clean the ends before heating
- Heat gradually and evenly to minimize thermal gradients before forming or joining
- Use as a small body tube, sleeve, or liner in high-temperature assemblies where heat tolerance is critical
- Cool in a controlled way to reduce stress in finished work
Dimensions:
- Inner diameter: 7.00mm
- Outer diameter: 10.40mm
- Wall Thickness: 1.70mm
- Standard length: 4'
