The maximum temperature for the stainless steel tubes is 900'c.  The higher
temperature was required with the quartz due to it's poorer conductivity.

I think that going to higher temperatures would cause problems with the top
and bottom fittings.

Can you e-mail me the problems you are having that are leading you to think
that you require higher temperatures?

Cheers
