What Is Soda Glass Tubing Used For?
Soda glass tubing is the raw material for the glass parts of many school experiments: right-angle bends and delivery tubes for gas preparation, short connectors pushed through a rubber stopper, fine jets for fountain and wash-bottle set-ups, and simple manometers. Soda glass softens at a lower temperature than borosilicate, so students can bend and draw it in an ordinary Bunsen or spirit-lamp flame, which is why it is the usual choice for glass-working practicals.
Cut the tube by scoring it once with a glass tubing cutter and snapping it away from you with the hands protected by a cloth. Fire-polish every cut end, let hot glass cool on a heat-proof mat, and wet the tube with water or glycerol before easing it into a rubber stopper, a common cause of hand injuries if forced. For apparatus that will be heated strongly, use borosilicate tubing instead.
What to Specify When Ordering
- The outside diameter and bore you need — this listing is named 6mm, so please confirm the dimensions with us before ordering.
- The number of 500mm lengths required.
- Accessories such as a tubing cutter and rubber stoppers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What length is the Soda Glass Tubing 6mm?
The Soda Glass Tubing 6mm is supplied in 500mm lengths. Students cut each length into shorter pieces for delivery tubes, bends and connectors, so one length usually provides glass for several pieces of apparatus.
Can Soda Glass Tubing 6mm be bent in a Bunsen flame?
Yes. Soda Glass Tubing 6mm softens at a lower temperature than borosilicate glass, so it can be bent and drawn into jets in an ordinary Bunsen burner flame. Rotate the tube evenly while heating and bend it slowly once it softens.
How do I confirm the exact diameter of the Soda Glass Tubing 6mm?
The Soda Glass Tubing 6mm is named for a 6mm size. Because tubing is specified by both outside diameter and bore, please confirm the dimensions you need through our contact page before ordering, so that it fits your stoppers and connectors.
Is Soda Glass Tubing 6mm suitable for strong heating?
Soda Glass Tubing 6mm is listed as heat and chemical resistant for general laboratory use, but soda glass expands more on heating than borosilicate. For apparatus that will be heated strongly or repeatedly, choose borosilicate glass tubing instead.
Who supplies the Soda Glass Tubing 6mm?
Soda Glass Tubing 6mm is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, from Ambala, Haryana, India. The company supplies tubing and related glassware to schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets.
What should a quotation request for Soda Glass Tubing 6mm include?
A quotation request for Soda Glass Tubing 6mm should give the number of 500mm lengths, the diameter and bore you need, any cutters or stoppers to add, and the delivery destination. Glass tubing needs careful packing, so the destination helps us plan it.
