Item Name:
Fused Quartz Tubing - 9mm x 1mm
SKU:
ABRQT32
Description:
This fused quartz tubing is made from high-purity fused silica and formed into a straight tube with a smooth internal bore and consistent outside diameter. In scientific lampworking, fused quartz is selected for work that demands excellent thermal shock resistance and high-temperature stability, especially in situations where standard glass can soften, devitrify, or introduce contamination.
With a 7 mm inside diameter and a slimmer outside diameter than heavier-wall options, this tubing is a strong choice for smaller high-heat components, sleeves, and process lines where you want quartz performance without unnecessary bulk. It is commonly cut down into shorter sections for custom fabrication and repair work.
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 reduce thermal gradients before forming, sealing, or joining
- Use as a small body tube or protective sleeve in high-temperature assemblies where heat tolerance is critical
- Cool in a controlled way to reduce stress in finished work
Dimensions:
- Inside diameter: 7.00mm
- Outside diameter: 9.00mm
- Wall Thickness: 1.00mm
- Standard length: 4'
