Quartz Glass Tubes/Rods
Quartz Glass Tubing is produced from pure silica, it is renowned for its purity, clarity and exceptional heat resisting capabilities to 1200 Deg C. We can offer outside diameters from 2mm right up to 800mm. The quartz glass rods are available from 2mm to 45mm diameters. The tubes and rods can be supplied in the standard form, or we have the facility to further process the tubes into any manner of forms. Full details of the forms we can produce is available on our Quartz Glass page which can be found HERE
Quartz glass tubes has many other properties beneficial to numerous industrial applications.
The typical applications for quartz glass tubing are in the preparation of envelopes for high temperature light sources, such as Xeon, Ultraviolet and Halogen lamps. Quartz glass tubes also have applications due to its excellent heat resistance, up to 1200°C. This compares favourably to borosilicate which can reach temperatures up to 300°C.
Quartz glass tubes are used heavily in the semiconductor industry, and in power applications for high voltage insulation.
The Quartz is offered in 3 different grades JGS1, JGS2and JGS3, each has its own qualities, details and transmission charts:
It is an optical quartz glass made from artificial stone with SiCl4 as raw material and melted by high-purity hydrogen-oxygen flame. Therefore, it contains a large amount of hydroxyl groups (about 2000 ppm) and has excellent UV transmission properties. Especially in the short-wave UV region, its transmission properties are far superior to all other types of glass. The UV transmittance at 185nm can reach 90% or higher. Synthetic quartz glass has a strong absorption peak at 2730 nm and has no grain structure. It is an excellent optical material in the range of 185-2500nm.
It is quartz glass refined by gas with crystal as raw material and contains dozens of PPM metal impurities. There is an absorption peak at 100nm (the hydroxyl content is 200-2730ppm), and it has a stripe and granular structure. It is an excellent material in the 220-2500 nm band range. We use this glass for the preparation of sight glasses, panels, and pressed items.
It is a quartz glass produced from crystal or high-purity quartz sand through a vacuum pressure furnace (ie, electric melting method), which contains dozens of PPM metal impurities. It has small air bubbles, grain structure and stripes, almost no OH, and high infrared transmittance. The light transmittance exceeds 85%. Its application range is 260-3500 nm optical materials.
