Glass Tube, Soda-Lime, 18mm OD, 1.5mm Wall x 12"

One 12" length of soda-lime glass tubing with fire-polished ends.

We can also provide glass tubing in arbitrary lengths, as well as custom soda-lime or borosilicate glass items (please inquire).

Tubes are guaranteed to fuse reliably (without leaving stresses after annealing) with the other soda-lime glass tubing we carry. Our Dumet wire also provides a reliable glass-to-metal seal against this glass.

Tubes are packaged individually with bubble wrap to prevent shipping damage. We will combine shipping for multiple lengths and diameters in the most secure and economical way.
