Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the primary applications of precision quartz capillary tubes?
Precision quartz capillary tubes are widely utilized in gas chromatography, capillary electrophoresis, medical endoscopes, optical communication fibers, precision fluid delivery, and laboratory analysis equipment requiring high chemical stability and thermal resistance.
Q: What advantages does fluorine-doped fused silica provide?
Fluorine doping lowers the refractive index of fused silica, creating an optimal refractive index contrast for optical light guidance and specialized cladding applications. It also enhances optical transmission properties and UV radiation damage resistance.
Q: What dimensional tolerances can be achieved for custom capillary tubes?
Through advanced precision thermal drawing and polishing processes, custom capillary tubes can typically achieve inner diameter (ID) and outer diameter (OD) tolerances down to ±0.001 mm to ±0.005 mm depending on specifications.
Q: How do fused silica and quartz tubes handle high temperatures?
Fused silica and quartz possess exceptional thermal stability with an extremely low thermal expansion coefficient. They can withstand continuous operating temperatures up to 1100°C and short-term exposure up to 1200°C without deformation.
Q: Are custom geometries such as multi-bore, square, or rectangular tubes available?
Yes, custom engineering supports various geometric cross-sections including circular single-bore, multi-bore (dual, quadruple, or micro-channel arrays), square, rectangular, and customized D-shaped configurations to meet specific project needs.
Q: What surface finish and end-face treatments are available?
End-faces can be processed with precision mechanical cleaving, optical polishing, laser cutting, flame polishing, or beveled angles to minimize reflection losses and prevent fluid flow disruption.
