Quartz windows are essential in various high-temperature applications, but their performance largely depends on their type and purity.
4 Key Factors to Consider When Using Quartz Windows
1. Type and Purity of Quartz
The maximum temperature for quartz windows varies based on the type and purity of the quartz.
2. Natural Quartz
For natural quartz, the maximum continuous use temperature is about 1,100 °C.
For short-term use, natural quartz can withstand temperatures up to about 1,300 °C.
3. Imported Quartz Tubes
Imported quartz tubes, which can be transparent or milky white, can withstand temperatures up to 1,100 °C.
These tubes are highly resistant to thermal shock due to their low coefficient of thermal expansion.
4. Safety Precautions
When using quartz windows or tubes, it is recommended not to open the door until the temperature is at or below 100°C, unless specifically creating a heated gas for certain processes.
It is also advised to wear gloves when removing materials from the oven and to wait until the temperature on the digital screen reaches 25°C before handling the items.
Baking Conditions
Quartz can be baked at temperatures up to 1,000 °C for at least 1 hour.
Purity and Thermal Shock
The temperature resistance of quartz windows and tubes is directly related to their purity. The higher the purity, the higher the temperature resistance.
However, it is important to note that quartz can be susceptible to thermal shock on heating and cooling, especially if it is of lower quality or impure.
