    QUESTION:Do you have any information on quartz tube-cleaning process best practices?

    ANSWER:

    The tube-cleaning process is a critical part of your preparation.Companies like SG Controls offer tube-cleaning machines with programmable cycles.The first ingredient needed is a high-purity source of deionized water for rinse cycles.Typically, an 18-megohm purity level of deionized (DI) water will ensure there are no impactful impurities.

    Update: We cover the quartz tube-cleaning process in thePreparing to Manufacture an Optical Fiber Preformblog including a quick reference checklist.
