Equipment for Cutting Glass Pipes 12mm
Equipment for Cutting Glass Pipes 12mm (Product Code: SCI-357/145) is a metal hand tool used to score 12 mm glass tubing so it can be snapped cleanly to length in chemistry and physics laboratories. The tool is corrosion resistant and spring loaded, so it stays open until it is squeezed around the tube. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, along with the glass tubing and other chemistry lab equipment a practical set-up needs.

What Is a Glass Tube Cutter Used For?
Lab assistants and teachers cut glass tubing to make delivery tubes for gas collection, short connectors for condensers and distillation set-ups, and lengths for bending into U- or L-shapes over a flame. A clean score from a proper cutter gives a straight break, where a file or improvised blade tends to leave jagged, dangerous ends.
Close the tool on the tube to make a fine, even score, turning the tube if needed, then wrap the tube in a cloth and snap it away from you with your thumbs behind the mark. Fire-polish the cut ends briefly in a spirit lamp or burner flame so they are smooth before fitting rubber tubing or bungs. Wear eye protection and gloves whenever glass is being cut.
What to Specify When Ordering
- The outside diameter of the tubing you cut, to confirm the 12 mm size suits it.
- How many cutters you need — one per prep room or one per bench.
- Whether glass tubing, safety eyewear or gloves should be added to the same quotation.
