Understanding the crystallographic and synthetic distinctions among fused silica and fused quartz grades enables procurement engineers in Sant Julià de Lòria to optimize spectral transmission, thermal fatigue thresholds, and life-cycle costs.
JGS1: Synthetic Fused Silica (Deep UV Grade)
Synthesized through the chemical vapor flame hydrolysis of high-purity silicon tetrachloride ($SiCl_4$). Completely free of microscopic bubbles and inclusions, JGS1 exhibits outstanding transmission in the deep ultraviolet spectrum starting at 185 nm through 2500 nm.
JGS2: Optical Fused Quartz (UV-VIS Grade)
Manufactured by fusing refined natural crystalline silica rock in specialized gas-oxygen flame setups. Delivers excellent optical transmission from 220 nm through 2500 nm, making it the premier cost-performance choice for analytical windows, sight glasses, and sight glass flanges.
JGS3: Low-Hydroxyl Infrared Fused Quartz
Produced via electric vacuum fusion techniques that strip out virtually all hydroxyl radicals ($OH^-$). This eliminates the characteristic infrared absorption band at 2730 nm, permitting clear radiant transmission through 3500 nm for thermal imaging viewports and IR furnace bodies.
Comprehensive Thermophysical Parameters of Nivra Fused Quartz
For academic researchers at the Universitat d'Andorra (UdA) in Sant Julià de Lòria and specialized mechanical engineering subcontractors across the Principality, fused quartz provides unmatched dimensional stability under severe environmental stress.
With a remarkably low coefficient of thermal expansion ($\alpha = 5.5 \times 10^{-7} \text{ K}^{-1}$ between 20°C and 320°C), our quartz sheets experience virtually zero distortion during extreme heat swings. Standard quartz sheets can be safely heated to 1100°C and immediately quenched into 20°C ice water without structural failure or micro-cracking.
Furthermore, chemical inertness is absolute across all organic solvents and inorganic acids, with the singular exceptions of hydrofluoric acid ($HF$) and concentrated phosphoric acid ($H_3PO_4$) at temperatures exceeding 300°C.

Frequently Asked Questions by Buyers in Sant Julià de Lòria
Clear answers regarding logistics through the Spanish/French borders, customs formalities with the Andorran tax agency (Duana d'Andorra), material certifications, and custom fabrication parameters.
How do you ship fragile quartz glass sheets directly into Sant Julià de Lòria, Andorra?
Shipments to Sant Julià de Lòria are typically dispatched via express air courier (DHL, FedEx, UPS) or air freight to international transit hubs in Barcelona El Prat (BCN) or Toulouse-Blagnac (TLS), followed by dedicated road transit directly through the Farga de Moles border checkpoint along the CG-1 arterial highway.
Each optical sheet or tube is individually wrapped in cleanroom electrostatic foil, nestled into custom high-density shock-absorbing EPE foam cavities, and sealed in multi-layered impact-tested corrugated boxes or fumigation-free wooden crates equipped with tilt-and-shock indicator labels.
How are customs clearance and the Andorran Indirect Tax (IGI) handled for imported quartz?
Andorra is a non-EU jurisdiction with its own customs territory. Shipments originating from our factory in China arrive under international transit documents (T1) through Spain or France and are presented to the Duana de Sant Julià de Lòria (located right at the southern border).
Industrial and scientific quartz glass is classified under Harmonized System (HS) code 7002.31.00 (quartz tubes) or 7006.00.00 / 7017.10.00 (quartz plates and laboratory quartzware). Most scientific inputs qualify for the standard or reduced Andorran IGI rate (typically 4.5%), significantly lower than neighboring EU VAT rates, with our team providing accurate commercial invoices, packing lists, and Certificates of Origin (CO).
What is the standard manufacturing tolerance for custom-cut quartz sheets and discs?
For standard custom sheets, our default dimensional tolerance is ±0.1 mm for length, width, and diameter. For precision optical components and semiconductor-grade quartz wafers, our CNC water-jet cutting and double-side lapping machines achieve tight tolerances of ±0.02 mm to ±0.05 mm, with edge chamfers at 0.2–0.5 mm × 45° to prevent micro-chipping.
Surface roughness on our polished optical series reaches Ra < 0.5 nm, scratch-dig 40/20 (or 20/10 upon request), and optical parallelism better than 30 arc seconds.
How can an Andorran research team distinguish between JGS1, JGS2, and JGS3 quartz?
The fundamental technical difference lies in raw material source, spectral band optimization, and hydroxyl ($OH^-$) radical content:
JGS1 (Synthetic Fused Silica): Chemical synthesis via $SiCl_4$. High $OH^-$ (~1200 ppm), zero bubbles, delivers >90% transmission at 185–2500 nm. Crucial for deep-UV laser viewports and alpine UV sensor calibration.
JGS2 (Optical Fused Quartz): Refined quartz crystal melted in a flame. Moderate $OH^-$ (<30 ppm), transmits from 220–2500 nm. Optimal for standard optical sight glasses and observation ports.
JGS3 (Infrared Fused Quartz): Electric vacuum melted from natural quartz. Extremely low $OH^-$ (<5 ppm), eliminating the 2.73 μm absorption dip and transmitting effectively out to 3500 nm. Perfect for thermal cameras and pyrometry.
Can we place low-volume prototype orders before entering bulk procurement?
