Description:

Asian 57mm x 2.4mm Clear Tubing is a Chinese-made borosilicate tubing with a 57mm outer diameter and 2.4mm wall thickness. This economically priced clear tubing is perfect for the blower on a budget who needs large-diameter stock for sculptural work, functional forms, or as a base for color applications. The thin wall allows for responsive heating and easy manipulation while the large diameter provides ample material for shaping and expansion.

This tubing comes in straight lengths and is supplied in cases of approximately eight pieces, making it an economical choice for artists and scientific workers building larger hollow forms, vessels, or components that benefit from the combination of size and affordability.

How it is used:

This tubing is worked in a torch as a primary body tube or as a structural base for color sleeves. In lampworking, you commonly:

• Heat and rotate evenly to bring the tube up to working temperature without creating hot spots
• Seal ends for blowouts, form constrictions, or pull points for shaping
• Blow and expand sections to create larger hollow forms with responsive wall thickness
• Join to other borosilicate components using clean, even heat so the seam fully fuses and finishes smooth

Clear tubing of this diameter and wall thickness is especially useful when you want a large working surface, need economical material for practice or production, or plan to apply color sleeves over a clear structural base.
