Item Name:
Asian 9.5mm x 2.0mm Clear Tubing
SKU:
AT9520
Description:
This is clear borosilicate tubing made to a 9.5mm outside diameter with a 2.0mm wall, giving you a sturdy, medium-small tube that holds heat well and stays stable during sealing and shaping. Clear boro tubing like this is manufactured as straight tube stock with consistent wall thickness so it can be cut, sleeved, necked down, and sealed without fighting thin spots. In the flame, this wall thickness gives you a good balance of control and durability, making it a dependable choice for everyday bench work where you want clean optics and predictable handling.
This size is commonly selected when you need a tube that can be worked into small functional bodies, connectors, and assemblies while still having enough wall to tolerate reheats, attachments, and light shaping without collapsing too easily.
How it is used:
Clear 9.5mm x 2.0mm boro tubing is typically used as a starting tube for lampworking and scientific-style fabrication. It is commonly:
- Cut to length, then fire-polished and sealed for closed-end sections
- Necked down and pulled to form smaller connections and transitions
- Sleeved over compatible rod or smaller tubing when building multi-part assemblies
- Shaped into small bodies and sections where you want a strong wall that resists deformation during joins and reworking
