Quartz glass tubes, as a high-performance industrial material, are widely used in various fields due to their unique physical and chemical properties. There are many types of quartz glass tubes, and according to different classification standards, they can be subdivided into many types.

I. Classify by transparency.

Transparent quartz glass tube

Ordinary transparent quartz tube: It has good light transmittance, and the SiO2 content is more than 99.9%. It is suitable for various applications that require high light transmittance.

UV-filtering quartz glass tube: This quartz tube can filter out ultraviolet rays, protecting equipment and personnel from UV damage, and is often used in medical, scientific research and other fields.

Ozone-free quartz glass tube: Unlike the UV filter quartz tube, the ozone-free quartz glass tube is suitable for ultraviolet rays of a specific wavelength, and is mainly used in ozone-free ultraviolet germicidal lamps.

Opaque or semi-transparent quartz glass tube

Milky quartz glass tube: Mainly used in the manufacture of heating tubes, far-infrared tubes, and has excellent thermal stability and corrosion resistance.

Color quartz glass tube: By adding different colorants, quartz glass tubes of various colors can be made to meet specific visual effects and application requirements.

II. Classify according to function and application.

Standard quartz glass tube

For example, there are models such as 180 and 230. These quartz glass tubes have different chemical compositions and performance characteristics, and are suitable for different application fields. For example, the 180 quartz glass tube is widely used in halogen tungsten lamps, heaters, chemical instruments, and other high-temperature-resistant products.

Special functional quartz glass tube

UV-transparent quartz glass tube (such as the 360 model): Specially designed to filter out ultraviolet light and maintain good transmission in the visible light band.

Fluorescent quartz glass tubes (such as the 380 model): They absorb ultraviolet light and convert it into visible fluorescence, improving the light efficiency and color, which are suitable for the manufacture of light sources.

Cutting ultraviolet quartz glass tubes (such as the 400 model): Completely blocking ultraviolet rays before 350nm, used as a filter sleeve for solid-state laser xenon lamps.

Custom-made quartz glass tube.

According to the specific needs of customers, we can customize various shapes, sizes, and performance of quartz glass tubes, such as spherical quartz tubes, shaped quartz tubes, etc.

III. Classification by production process

Connected melting quartz glass tube

The quartz glass tubes produced by this method are of stable quality, high yield, and relatively inexpensive, which is the main production method of quartz glass tubes in the current market.

Quartz glass tube for gas refining

Quartz powder is melted using a hydrogen-oxygen flame for production, which is mainly used in specific applications such as diffusion tubes and furnace tubes.

Quartz glass tube made by the electric fusion method

Produced using the vacuum pressure electric fusion method, it has a low hydroxyl content and is suitable for applications that require high hydroxyl content or for products with special dimensions and small batches.

Plasma quartz glass tube

Quartz powder is produced by plasma flame melting, and it has a low hydroxyl content. It is mainly used in the production of optical fibers.

IV. Classify according to special performance.

High-temperature-resistant quartz glass tube

Coating the outer surface of the quartz glass tube with a layer of high-purity Al2O3 or SiC can significantly improve its stability and durability at high temperatures.

Corrosion-resistant quartz glass tube

Certain quartz glass tubes with specific chemical compositions have excellent corrosion resistance, and are suitable for corrosive media in the fields of chemical engineering, environmental protection, and so on.

High transparency quartz glass tube

By optimizing the production process and the ratio of raw materials, we can produce quartz glass tubes with extremely high transparency, which are suitable for use in optical instruments, light source manufacturing, and other fields.

There are many types of quartz glass tubes, and each type has its unique properties and application scenarios. When selecting quartz glass tubes, we should consider comprehensively according to specific application needs and performance requirements to ensure that we choose the most suitable material.
