Product Description

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the primary applications of precision quartz capillary tubes?

Precision quartz capillary tubes are extensively utilized in optical fiber communications, gas and liquid chromatography, electrophoresis, medical endoscopes, analytical instruments, and microfluidic research due to their thermal stability and chemical purity.

What are the specific advantages of fluorine-doped fused silica capillary tubes?

Fluorine doping lowers the refractive index of fused silica, enabling controlled light guidance, reduced attenuation, enhanced radiation resistance, and superior optical performance in laser delivery and specialized fiber-optic component manufacturing.

What dimensional tolerances can be achieved for custom capillary tubes?

Custom fabrication achieves micro-level dimensional precision, with inner diameter (ID) and outer diameter (OD) tolerances typically controllable down to ±0.002 mm or tighter, depending on specific structural geometry and wall thickness requirements.

How do quartz capillary tubes perform under high operating temperatures?

Fused quartz features an extremely low coefficient of thermal expansion and can withstand continuous operating temperatures up to 1100°C and short-term thermal shocks exceeding 1250°C without mechanical deformation or loss of optical clarity.

Can custom geometries such as multi-lumen or square profiles be produced?

Yes, precision manufacturing accommodates diverse geometries including round, square, rectangular, D-shape, and multi-bore (multi-lumen) configurations customized to exact application specifications.

What is the optical transmission range of fused silica capillaries?

High-purity fused silica provides broad spectral transmission spanning ultraviolet (UV), visible (VIS), and near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths, ranging approximately from 190 nm to 2500 nm.
