Borosilicate glass tubings

Uses of Borosilicate glass tubings

• Glassware Construction:

It’s often used to make laboratory glassware like beakers, flasks, and test tubes due to its ability to withstand thermal shock and chemical exposure.

• Vacuum Applications:

The tubing is used in vacuum systems and vacuum chambers because it can maintain structural integrity under low-pressure conditions.

• Thermal Insulation:

Borosilicate glass tubing is ideal for applications that require thermal insulation, such as heat exchangers or as a protective barrier in high-temperature experiments.

• Reactor Vessels:

It is used in chemical reactors for conducting reactions at elevated temperatures and pressures.

• HPLC and Chromatography:

Borosilicate glass tubing is utilized in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) systems for its chemical resistance and ability to be manufactured to precise dimensions.

• Sample Vials:

It’s commonly used for making sample vials and storage containers for chemical and biological samples due to its inert nature and resistance to various solvents.

• Syringe Barrels:

In the manufacture of syringe barrels, borosilicate glass provides a stable and inert environment for various pharmaceuticals and chemicals.

• Optical Applications:

Borosilicate glass is also used in optical components such as lenses and prisms because of its clarity and ability to transmit light effectively.

• Thermometers:

The tubing is used in laboratory thermometers, as it can accurately withstand the temperature fluctuations without breaking.

• Experimental Setup:

Researchers often use borosilicate tubing to create custom setups for experiments, as it can be easily cut and shaped to fit specific needs.
