Item Name:
Fused Quartz Tubing - 11mm x 1.5mm
SKU:
ABRQT37
Description:
Fused quartz tubing is made by melting high-purity silica and forming it into a hollow tube with controlled inner and outer diameters for consistent fit and wall thickness. This tubing has an inner diameter of 8.00 mm and an outer diameter of 11.00 mm, with a standard length of 4 feet. In lampworking and scientific glassblowing, fused quartz is used when you need exceptional thermal shock resistance, very low thermal expansion, and reliable performance at temperatures beyond what typical glass tubing is chosen for. This size is commonly selected for precision sleeves, spacers, and small process tube sections where dimensional stability and clean, high-temperature service matter.
How it is used:
- Heated and formed using a hydrogen and oxygen torch or another suitable high-temperature heat source, since fused quartz requires higher working temperatures than borosilicate or soft glass
- Cut to length and fire-polished for clean ends when used as a sleeve, liner, or protective tube section
- Joined to compatible quartz components for custom scientific assemblies that must tolerate repeated heat cycling
- Used as a precision spacer or standoff tube where low thermal expansion helps maintain alignment and fit
- Selected for parts that will see direct flame exposure, rapid heating and cooling, or sustained high operating temperatures
Dimensions:
- Inside Diameter: 8.00mm
- Outside Diameter: 11.00mm
- Wall Thickness: 1.50mm
- Standard Length: 4'
