Item Name:
Asian 50mm x 9.0mm Clear Tubing
SKU:
AT5090
Description:
This economically priced borosilicate glass tubing is made in China and is a practical choice when you need large clear stock without tying up budget in premium tubing. With a 50mm outer diameter and a heavy 9.0mm wall, it offers substantial thermal mass and durability for larger-scale hollow work. The clear borosilicate formulation provides the heat resistance and working range lampworkers rely on for clean seals, stable joins, and predictable forming. Each case contains approximately 5 pieces and weighs 36 pounds, making it a solid option for studios that go through large tubing regularly.
How it is used:
Tubing in this diameter and wall thickness is commonly selected for oversized components where strength, rigidity, and extra material for shaping are important. In lampworking, it is used for building large hollow bodies, heavy-wall sections that will be reworked repeatedly, and pieces where you want more glass available for pushing, stretching, and forming without thinning too quickly. The thick wall is especially useful when you plan to do deep shaping, extensive reheats, or aggressive tooling, because it helps the tube hold its form and gives you more “working time” before the wall gets too thin. Clear tubing like this is also a staple for work that will be fumed, sleeved, backed with color, or used as a clean base for surface decoration.
