Fused Quartz Plate and Window
The critical distinction for fused quartz plate and window is the combination of material grade, geometry and post-processing condition, all of which should be reflected in the specification sheet. Contact WEGITEK with your required specifications, quantity and drawings for a technical quotation.
Fused Quartz Plate and Window: Material Overview
Fused Quartz Plate and Window is considered for semiconductor thermal processing, optical assemblies, fluid handling, laboratory systems and mechanical fixtures. Quartz and technical glasses offer different thermal expansion, transmission, chemical resistance and processability. A suitable choice depends on thermal exposure and the final assembly. Quartz plates and optical windows are precision shapes for optical or process assemblies.

Engineering and Specification Considerations
Specify clear aperture, grade, wavelength band, parallelism, scratch/dig and edge finish.
- Fused quartz vs borosilicate composition
- ID/OD or diameter
- length/thickness
- tolerance
- finish
- optional hole pattern and cleaning
Quality and Inspection Priorities
Engineering acceptance should be defined before order confirmation. Depending on grade and use, the inspection review may include:
- Composition and material grade
- dimensions
- concentricity
- flatness
- parallelism
- surface finish
- edge quality and cleanliness
Where possible, request the inspection method, measurement location and batch documentation alongside the numeric limit.
Applications and Selection Guidance
Potential application fields include semiconductor thermal processing, optical assemblies, fluid handling, laboratory systems and mechanical fixtures. The final selection depends on thermal, electrical, optical and mechanical operating conditions. Share the process step and acceptance criteria to help the supplier evaluate feasibility.
Frequently Asked Question
Is fused quartz interchangeable with borosilicate glass?
No. Their thermal expansion and temperature behavior differ substantially, so material grade must be confirmed before machining or substituting parts.
What should be included in a request for quotation?
Send the part name or drawing, material grade, diameter/size, thickness, orientation, surface finish, quantity and required tests. If you have a target delivery date or acceptance specification, include it at the outset.
