Equipment for Cutting Glass Pipes
Product Code : SCL-CL-11570
Equipment for Cutting Glass Pipes (SKU SCL-CL-11570) is a spring-loaded metal glass tube cutter that scores glass tubing from 4 to 12 mm so it can be snapped cleanly to length. It can be used by lab assistants and teachers when making delivery tubes, connectors and jets for chemistry and physics set-ups. Training institutes, schools and distributors can obtain the cutter from Science Lab Supplies, operating out of Ambala, India.
Specifications
The glass tube cutter’s size range, material and action each have a row in the table. In short, the cutter is metallic and corrosion resistant, handles glass pipes from 4 to 12 mm, and is spring loaded so it stays open until used; it scores the tubing, which makes the glass much easier to break cleanly at the mark.

Applications and Experiments for the Glass Tube Cutter
Glass tubing has to be cut to length for each apparatus. Scoring with this tool gives a straighter, cleaner break than snapping unscored glass, so tubes fit stoppers properly and need less fire-polishing. It is used in preparation rooms that support chemistry and physics practicals.
- Class 9–12 chemistry: cutting delivery tubes for gas collection, such as the bent tube of the Simple Equipment for Gases that do not Dissolve in Water.
- Class 11 chemistry and B.Sc. labs: basic glass-working exercises such as cutting tubing and fire-polishing the ends in a Bunsen Burner (Pack of Two) flame.
- Physics labs: preparing glass connectors joined by Rubber Tube (Laboratory) for manometers and capillary experiments.
- Laboratory assistant training: safe preparation of glass fittings.
Cut glass edges are sharp. Wear safety glasses and gloves, wrap the tube in cloth when snapping it, and fire-polish the cut ends before inserting them into stoppers.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Equipment for Cutting Glass Pipes is supplied as a single metal cutter covering tubing from 4 to 12 mm. Glass tubing itself is not included, and any optional accessories you request, such as spare cutters or tubing, are shown on the quotation alongside it.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Ask for one cutter for a preparation room or one per bench for a training institute, and the quotation will give packing, delivery time and price for that quantity. Glass tubing and stoppers can be listed on the same quotation for a single delivery.
Holding an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies is a registered exporter able to ship to buyers in Egypt, Iraq, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana and Ethiopia. Ask about the cutter and tubing through the contact page, save both in the enquiry cart, or refer to the lab tender page for a training-institute tender.
Frequently Asked Questions
What tube sizes can it cut?
It is made for glass pipes from 4 to 12 mm. Measure the outside diameter of your tubing and mention it in your enquiry if it falls near either end of that range.
How does the cutter work?
The spring keeps the cutter open until it is used. Closing it on the tube scores the glass, and the tube is then snapped at the score for a clean break that needs less finishing.
Who supplies the Equipment for Cutting Glass Pipes?
Science Lab Supplies prices this cutter and ships it from Ambala, India. Laboratories, training institutes, distributors and tender contractors receive an itemised quotation with packing and delivery time for their quantity.
Is it safe for students to use?
It should be used under teacher supervision with safety glasses and gloves, because snapped glass leaves sharp edges that must be fire-polished before the tube is handled or fitted.
