OEA Laboratories silica reaction tubes are manufactured in our own glassblowing facility. We use only high grade silica tubing made from Unimin sand which contains only a few parts per million of impurities. The high purity of this silica (quartz) raw material produces a product which withstands abrupt changes in temperature without failure and resistance to chemical attack. All reaction tubes are made from tolerance selected transparent silica (quartz) for a perfect fit. Most reaction tubes are offered in standard wall (1.4 to 1.5mm) or as a heavy wall option (2.0 to 2.1mm) for enhanced performance under severe combustion conditions.

Metal reaction tubes are also available in both stainless steel and Inconel high performance alloy.

Our glassy carbon tubes are of premium quality with a high gloss finish for optimum performance.

If you need a special tube not found in our catalogues please contact us for a quotation. We have our own glass blowing and engineering facilities to produce one-off’s to production runs.
