8PROPERTIES OF FUSED QUARTZSilica is found almost everywhere in nature, and represents

almost 1/3 the mass of the earths 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

from SiCL4. The finished products appearance will be transparent.

Vitreous Silica, in all its forms, offers a variety of properties such as:

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 2.73m. 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 SPECIFICATIONSThis 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:

DIGDigs 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.

SCRATCHScratch 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 maximum-size scratches on the surface of the lens in question cannot exceed 1/4 the diameter of the usable lens area.

OPAQUE FUSED QUARTZThe 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 micro-bubbles. 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 WOOLFused 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 1050C. Fused Quartz Wool is available in the following forms:

COARSE 9 m NOMINAL WOOLBulk Wool consists of woven basic fibers between 5m and

15m. 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:

Size Before Rolling & Pressing L 3700mm x W 1600mm x H 150mm

Unit Weight .5 lb. bags 1.1 lb. bags

FINE 4 m NOMINAL WOOLFine Wool consists of woven basic fibers between 1.5m

and 7m. This product was developed to meet severe technical specifications required by markets that demand a larger specific area. Therefore, this wool offers more efficient thermal conductivity than our standard bulk wool.

Unit Weight 10 grams .5 lb. bags

Other sizes available upon request. Maximum size is 3000mm x 1000mm.

FELTS (MATS)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 900F for 1 hour, or 500F for 24 hours. Binder content on the Felt is 45% by weight. Standard specifications are:

Sizes 1000mm x 1000mm 1000mm x 500mm 500mm x 500mm

Thickness 5mm (0.2 in)

Weight 80 g/m (2.3 oz/yd)

QUARTZ FRITSA 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.

POROSITYChoosing 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.

CLEANINGThe 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.

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.

WHEN JOINING FUSED QUARTZ AND OTHER MATERIALS

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.

RUNNING IN PROCEDUREIn 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 1200C and rotate it 90 every two (2) hours for the first 12 to 24 hours.

STORAGESpace 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.

CARE MUST BE TAKEN DURING FURNACE INSERTION

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 1100C or higher. Care should be taken to support both glass types, especially large-sized products.

DEVITRIFICATIONDevitrification 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 1000C or less. This hardly ever occurs at temperatures of 1150C or less, if the glass surface is perfectly clean. Devitrification usually starts when the temperature rises to 1200C or higher, then further develops as the temperature increases.

BECAUSE THE PRODUCTS ARE ANNEALEDBoth quartz and silica glass are annealed at approximately

1150C. However, they reach a strain point at about 1120C. 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.

SPECIAL HANDLING & PRECAUTIONSWhen 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 skins natural salts contain alkali metal elements such as sodium and potassium that speed devitrification.
