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 diameter so it can be snapped cleanly to length. Lab assistants and teachers use it when making delivery tubes, connectors and jets for chemistry and physics set-ups. Science Lab Supplies supplies this cutter from Ambala, India to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The cutter is metallic and corrosion resistant, and it handles glass pipes from 4 to 12 mm. A spring keeps it open until it is used; closing it around the tube and turning scores a line, after which the glass breaks cleanly at the mark.

Applications and Experiments for the Glass Tube Cutter
Glass tubing arrives in long lengths and has to be cut for each apparatus. Scoring with this tool gives a straighter, cleaner break than a triangular file, 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 preparation and collection.
- Class 11 chemistry and B.Sc. labs: basic glass-working exercises such as cutting and bending tubing.
- Physics labs: preparing tubing 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 as described above, covering tubing from 4 to 12 mm. Glass tubing itself is not included; any optional accessories are listed on the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
A preparation room usually needs one or two cutters, while a training institute may want one per bench. Ask for either and the quotation will give packing, delivery time and price for that quantity, with glass tubing available on the same quotation.
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. Enquire through the enquiry cart or the contact page, and consult the lab tender page for bulk tenders.
Frequently Asked Questions
What tube sizes can it cut?
It is made for glass pipes from 4 to 12 mm in diameter, which covers most tubing used in school and college laboratories.
How does the cutter work?
The spring holds it open; you close it round the tube and rotate it to score a line, then snap the glass at the score for a clean break.
Who supplies the Equipment for Cutting Glass Pipes?
Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India, preparing quotations for laboratories, training institutes, distributors and tender contractors.
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 use.
