Product Overview
High-purity quartz glass tubing provides a combination of material stability, chemical resistance, and dimensional flexibility for specialized optical and industrial applications.
Quartz glass and fused silica materials are known for their relatively low thermal expansion and resistance to many chemical environments. Their optical and thermal properties depend on the selected material grade, manufacturing process, and operating conditions.
For precision assembly applications, both the outer and inner diameters are important. The relationship between OD and ID determines the nominal wall thickness, while dimensional tolerances, circularity, straightness, and end-face condition can influence component fit and assembly performance.
BYNET provides reference tube dimensions and can review application-specific requirements based on customer drawings.
Key Features
Small-Diameter Quartz Tubing
Reference outer diameters from 1.0 to 2.4 mm offer options for compact optical and precision component assemblies.
Multiple Inner Diameter Options
Nominal inner diameters from 0.25 to 1.9 mm allow different internal clearances for compatible fibers, miniature components, and assembly structures.
Quartz Glass Material Properties
High-purity quartz glass is valued for its low thermal expansion and chemical stability. Specific optical transmission and temperature requirements should be verified according to the selected material grade.
Defined Dimensional Tolerances
Existing reference specifications include OD and ID tolerances of ±0.05 mm and a length tolerance of ±0.2 mm.
Drawing-Based Customization
Tube dimensions, cut lengths, end-face requirements, and additional dimensional characteristics can be evaluated according to customer technical drawings.

Applications
Fiber Optic Component Assembly
Small-diameter quartz tubes can serve as protective or supporting components in compatible optical fiber assemblies, depending on the fiber dimensions and required mechanical fit.
Optical Fiber Processing Fixtures
Quartz tubing can be considered for customized fiber processing fixtures and supporting structures where material stability and a defined tubular geometry are required.
Precision Micro-Optical Packaging
The cylindrical outer profile and internal passage can be incorporated into micro-optical components requiring a compact glass supporting or positioning structure.
Optical Instrumentation and Research
Quartz tubes can be evaluated for optical measurement systems, laboratory assemblies, and research prototypes that require specific tube dimensions or material properties.
Custom Precision Components
Application-specific quartz tubing may be used as sleeves, spacers, protective housings, or miniature tubular structures in compatible industrial and optical devices.
How to Select the Right Quartz Tube
Selecting the appropriate quartz tube requires consideration of both dimensional and material requirements.
Outer Diameter (OD)
The outer diameter determines how the tube fits into a surrounding holder, housing, or assembly fixture.
Inner Diameter (ID)
The inner diameter should be selected according to the actual dimensions of the inserted fiber, sleeve, or miniature component.
Wall Thickness
Nominal wall thickness is calculated as:
Wall Thickness = (OD − ID) / 2
The selected combination must also meet manufacturing and mechanical requirements. Not every OD and ID within the reference ranges can be combined.
Material Grade
Material selection should take into account purity, hydroxyl (OH) content, optical transmission requirements, and intended operating conditions where relevant.
Dimensional Accuracy and End-Face Condition
Applications requiring controlled assembly fit should specify the relevant OD/ID tolerances, circularity, straightness, length, and end-face requirements.
Special dimensional and inspection requirements should be included in the technical drawing.
Custom Quartz Tubing and Engineering Support
BYNET can review custom quartz tube requirements based on customer drawings and intended applications.

Manufacturing feasibility, material availability, and final specifications are subject to engineering confirmation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What are high-purity quartz tubes used for?
High-purity quartz tubes can be used in optical component assemblies, fiber processing fixtures, protective sleeves, precision laboratory components, and other applications requiring quartz glass tubing.
Q2: What diameter ranges are available?
Existing BYNET reference specifications include outer diameters of 1.0–2.4 mm and inner diameters of 0.25–1.9 mm. Specific OD/ID combinations must be confirmed before ordering.
Q3: What is the difference between quartz glass tubing and fused silica tubing?
Both terms are commonly used for silica-based glass materials. However, fused quartz and synthetic fused silica can differ in manufacturing process, impurity content, and optical properties. The exact material grade should be confirmed for applications with specific performance requirements.
Q4: Can quartz tube dimensions be customized?
BYNET can review requests for specific outer diameters, inner diameters, lengths, tolerances, and end-face requirements based on customer drawings.
Q5: Are these quartz tubes suitable for UV or high-temperature applications?
Suitability depends on the actual quartz glass grade, optical wavelength, temperature, exposure duration, and operating environment. Specific UV transmission or high-temperature requirements should be evaluated before confirming a material.
Q6: What information should I provide when requesting a quotation?
Please provide the required OD, ID, length, material requirements, dimensional tolerances, estimated quantity, and any available engineering drawings.
