Item Name:
Fused Quartz Rod - 9.0mm
SKU:
ABRQR9
Description:
This is a solid fused quartz rod manufactured as a straight, round bar with controlled roundness and straightness for fabrication work. Fused quartz is used in scientific and high-temperature glassworking because it maintains stability under intense heat and resists thermal shock when handled correctly. In lampworking and scientific glassblowing, quartz rod is commonly used as starting stock for making high-heat components, forming supports and standoffs, building or repairing specialty apparatus, and creating parts where a solid, dimensionally consistent rod is required instead of tubing.
How it is used:
- Cut to length and edge-finished for use as a support rod, spacer, or structural element in high-heat assemblies
- Heated and worked in a quartz-capable flame setup for forming, sealing into compatible quartz components, or shaping ends for specific functions
- Used as a rigid stock material for jigs, handles, and fixtures where heat resistance and straightness are important
Dimensions:
- Rod Size: 9.0mm
- Standard Length: 4'
- Ovality: 1% max
- Bow: 1.3mm per 1220mm length
- Outside Diameter Tolerance: ± 1.5%
