PROPERTIES OF FUSED QUARTZ
Silica is found almost everywhere in nature, and represents
almost 1/3 the mass of the earth’s crust. Vitreous Silica is the
generic term used to describe all types of silica glass, and
manufacturers refer to the material as either Fused Quartz or
Fused Silica.
Fused Quartz is manufactured by melting naturally occuring
crystalline silica, such as sand or rock crystal. The production
method is either electrically fused or flame fused. Afterward,
items will appear transparent, translucent, or opaque; making it
possible to create a wide range of products.
Fused silica, commonly referred to as synthetic fused quartz,
is produced using high purity silica sand that is manufactured

INTERNAL PRESSURE CALCULATIONS
Because fused quartz is used in applications involving internal
pressures, it is helpful to know the maximum pressure that can
be applied to a selected fused quartz tube. The formula below can
approximate this information at room temperature. In addition,
there are helpful calculator applications available on our website
at www.technicalglass.com.
Look for the Toolbox and Book icons
at technicalglass.com and choose an application
from the menus below them.
RUPTURE FORMULA FOR TUBING
S = pr/t
Where:
S = Hoop Stress in Pa
p = Working Pressure (Pa)
r0 = Inside Radius (mm)
t
= Wall Thickness (mm)
This formula cannot be used when internal pressure exceeds
100 psi.
RUPTURE PRESSURE CALCULATIONS FOR DISCS
AND PLATES
Determining pressure differential is required for many
applications of stressed fused quartz discs, plates and sight
glasses. The formulas below can be used for room temperature
applications of parts having either clamped or unclamped edges:
A = Unsupported Area in sq/inches
T = Thickness (inches)
F = Safety Factor (7)
M = Modulus of Rupture (7,000 psi)
P
=
Pressure (psi)
The above pressure calculations are recommendations only.
Actual pressure points may vary depending on user applications.

The curves in the figure below represent the average
transmissions for a 10mm thick test sample for both commercial
and optical grades. Fused quartz is very efficient for the
transmission of infrared radiation. Infrared transmission extends
out approximately 4 micrometers, with little absorption in the
“water band” at 2.73µm.

OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF FUSED QUARTZ
The optical properties of fused quartz allows you to choose
between various types, because the degree of transparency
defines material purity and the method of manufacture.
Certain indicators are the UV cutoff and the presence or
absence of bands at 245nm and 2.73µm. The UV cutoff varies
from 155 to 175nm for a 10mm thick test sample. The presence
of transition metallic impurities will move the UV cutoff towards
longer wavelengths.

SCRATCH / DIG SPECIFICATIONS
This parameter measures the allowable defects in a coating
or on the surface of an optical element, and is specified as a
numerical value. For example, a specification may read “Scratch/
Dig = 80/50”, explained as follows:
SCRATCH
DIG
Scratch numbers are the apparent widths of hairline scratches
allowed in units of 0.001mm. A scratch number of 80 is really
0.08 mm wide. Additionally, the combined length of maximumsize scratches on the surface of the lens in question cannot
exceed 1/4 the diameter of the usable lens area.
Digs represent the apparent diameters of allowable defects
such as bubbles, pinholes and inclusions on the surface of lens or
coating. Digs are specified in units of 0.01mm, so a dig value of
50 is actually .5mm diameter allowable inclusion. The allowable
number of maximum size digs within the useful area of the lens is
one, and the sum of the diameters of all digs cannot exceed twice
the diameter of the minimum size dig number specified.

PRECISON BORE TUBING
WHEN ORDERING
The manufacturing of Precision Bore Tubing involves the
heating and softening of standard tubing over a precision mandrel
when precise tolerances are required. The final product is formed
as the tube is pulled over the mandrel.
Because we provide a wide range of Precision Bore Tubing, we
cannot list all that is available. Please call or write us with your
specific requirements.
Size availability up to 2.75"
Tolerances available as tight as ±.002"

OPAQUE FUSED QUARTZ
The opaque quality comes from quartz sands of high purity
when reduced to a molten state at a temperature of approximately
2000° C. The high temperature produces a vitreous material
characterized by the presence of a multitude of gaseous microbubbles. These bubbles diffract light, giving the material its
opacity. The term opaque silica is mainly used for molded or
centrifuged parts, while the product obtained by drawing is
normally referred to as translucent.
Opaque silica glass offers a number of exceptional properties,
such as:
• Extreme Hardness
• Low Expansion
• Excellent High Temperature Resistance
• Maximum Continuous Temperature 1100° C
• Extreme Chemical Purity
• Excellent Corrosion Resistance
• Excellent Electrical Insulation Properties
• Remarkable Stability Under Atomic Bombardment

FUSED QUARTZ WOOL
Fused Quartz Wool has the same properties as pure quartz
glass. The fibers are non-flammable and incombustible. The
fibers maintain their usable mechanical properties up to 1050°C.
Fused Quartz Wool is available in the following forms:
•
Coarse
•
Fine
•
Wool Felts
Quartz Felt
COARSE 9 µm NOMINAL WOOL
FELTS (MATS)
Bulk Wool consists of woven basic fibers between 5µm and
15µm. The arrangement of the fibers gives the wool its curly
appearance, which prevents compression of the material and
improves the desired insulating qualities. The fibers are flexible
and have excellent torsion and bending resistance. Standard
specifications are:
A Felt is quartz wool that has been impregnated with a starch
binder to provide a stable sheet that can be handled, cut or
fabricated to exact sizes. The binder can be removed by heating
the Felt to 900°F for 1 hour, or 500°F for 24 hours. Binder
content on the Felt is 4–5% by weight. Standard specifications
are:

POROSITY
Choosing the correct porosity is key for success in working
with glass filters. These frits vary in porosity according to grades
that are expressed as 00, 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. The table below shows
the various fields of application for each grade of porosity. The
pore size indicates the the largest pore in the disc, as well as the
the diameter of the smallest particle retained during filtration.

QUARTZ FRITS
A frit is defined as a porous filter composed of bonded grains
of quartz glass. Frits are manufactured from the same high purity
raw material as our tubing and rod. Some applications of fritted
discs include filtration of liquids or corrosive gas, heat diffusion,
flow regulation, and chemically inert and high purity applications.

CLEANING
WHEN JOINING FUSED QUARTZ AND OTHER
MATERIALS
The cleaning of fused quartz is critical before it is used in
any application. The fused quartz should be cleaned by placing
it in a 7% maximum solution of Ammonium Bifluoride for no
more than ten (10) minutes, or a 10% volume maximum solution
of Hydrofloric Acid for no more than five (5) minutes. After
cleaning, using the above method, the fused quartz should be
rinsed in deionized or distilled water and then dried.
Quartz and silica glass only slightly expand with increases
in temperature compared to other materials. Care must be taken
when these glass products are connected to other materials
and the temperature rises, in order to avoid the development of
cracks.
To further reduce the possibility of contamination, care should
be used in handling fused quartz. The use of clean cotton gloves
at all times is essential.
CARE MUST BE TAKEN DURING FURNACE
INSERTION
RUNNING IN PROCEDURE
In order to increase resistance to devitrification and sag of
your quartzware, an even layer of cristobalite must be formed on
the O.D. of quartz tubes. Expose a new tube to a temperature of
up to 1200°C and rotate it 90° every two (2) hours for the first 12
to 24 hours.
STORAGE
Space permitting, fused quartz should be stored in its original
shipping container. If that is not practical, at least the wrapping
should be retained. In the case of tubing, the end coverings
should be kept in place until the product is used. This protects
the ends from chipping and keeps out dirt and moisture which
could compromise the purity and performance of the tubing.
BECAUSE THE PRODUCTS ARE ANNEALED
Both quartz and silica glass are annealed at approximately
1150°C. However, they reach a strain point at about 1120°C.
These glass products, if rapidly cooled after use at temperatures
above this strain point, will develop strain again. Special care
should be taken when using large sized products.
Quartz and silica glass feature low thermal conductivity. If
the glass product comes too close to a heating element, or is put
in direct contact with a flame, it may become locally heated and
develop cracks. Long glass tubes may also deform at temperatures
of 1100°C or higher. Care should be taken to support both glass
types, especially large-sized products.
DEVITRIFICATION
Devitrification of quartz and silica glass means transition
from a metastable (vitrified) state to a stable crystallized state of
cristobalite. Devitrification occurs when the product is used at
high temperatures over a long period of time, or it is heated while
impurities adhere to its surface. Even very small impurities on
the surface can have a major influence. Under such conditions,
devitrification may even occur at temperatures of 1000°C or less.
This hardly ever occurs at temperatures of 1150°C or less, if the
glass surface is perfectly clean. Devitrification usually starts when
the temperature rises to 1200°C or higher, then further develops
as the temperature increases.
SPECIAL HANDLING & PRECAUTIONS
When handling, always wear clean, lint free gloves or powder
free latex gloves. Be sure to avoid direct contact of the glass with
bare hands. The skin’s natural salts contain alkali metal elements
such as sodium and potassium that speed devitrification.
