Precision quartz capillary tubes are widely utilized in optical fiber communication components, gas and liquid chromatography, medical flow cytometry, electrophoresis, precision laser equipment, and specialized fluid transport systems requiring high optical clarity and chemical purity.
Fluorine doping lowers the refractive index of fused silica, optimizes optical transmission spectra, enhances UV and radiation resistance, and helps suppress thermal expansion variations, making these tubes suitable for specialized fiber optic cladding and precision analytical instrumentation.
Yes. Custom fabrication allows tailored inner diameters (ID), outer diameters (OD), wall thicknesses, and overall lengths with dimensional tolerances maintained down to micro-level precision according to engineering drawings and technical specifications.
High-purity fused silica and quartz possess exceptional thermal stability, handling continuous operating temperatures up to 1100°C and short-term thermal exposure exceeding 1200°C without significant structural deformation or loss of chemical resistance.
Quartz and fused silica exhibit outstanding corrosion resistance against virtually all organic solvents, neutral solutions, and strong acids, with the exception of hydrofluoric acid and concentrated phosphoric acid at elevated temperatures.
Available processing capabilities include flat precision cutting, optical-grade end-face polishing, angle cleaving, flame fire-polishing, custom chamfering, and custom micro-tapering tailored for seamless optical and mechanical alignment.
