The alumina tube serves as a barrier between the heating element and the sample, preventing contamination and guaranteeing uniform heating. Since alumina has a high thermal conductivity, the sample can be heated quickly and effectively, and the tubes have high mechanical strength, which ensures that they can withstand the stress of repeated heating and cooling cycles.
Benefits of Alumina Ceramic Furnace Tube
High Temperature Resistance
Alumina ceramic furnace tubes can withstand extreme temperatures as high as 1,700°C while still maintaining their mechanical and thermal characteristics.
Chemical Resistance
High-purity alumina guarantees that the tubes produced are chemically inert and resistant to corrosions of acids, alkalis, inorganic and organic salts, and other corrosive substances, and they won't react with heated products. Consequently, they are ideal for applications where sample purity is crucial.
High Mechanical Strength
The tube can withstand repeated heating and cooling cycles without cracking or deforming thanks to its good mechanical strength and low thermal expansion, which guarantees long-term dependability and durability.
High Thermal Conductivity
The high thermal conductivity of alumina guarantees that the sintered product is heated quickly and uniformly, lowering the risk of thermal shock and ensuring precise temperature control.
Common Specifications of Alumina Ceramic Furnace Tube
The above specs can be customized up to 2500mm in length. The inventory is large, allowing for quick delivery within 7 days. If the required specification is not in the above list, you can also confirm with our company to see if it is in stock. Additionally, custom size is acceptable.
Product Packaging
To ensure the integrity and safety of the products during shipping, UNIPRETEC uses foam, bubble pads and other shock-absorbing materials inside, and cartons, wooden boxes, hangers and other shock-absorbing materials outside when packaging.
Shape characteristics
Structure in the form of tubes: Usually straight, alumina ceramic furnace tubes may be molded into U-shaped, W-shaped, or other complex shapes according to the application's requirements.
Variety of sizes: The furnace tube may be made longer or shorter to suit the particular requirements of industrial applications. This is carried out to satisfy the needs for installation space and the conditions in which different equipment is used.
consistent thickness of walls Uniform wall thickness of the furnace tube contributes to maintaining its overall strength and heat energy conducting efficiency.
Smooth walls, both inside and outside Easy cleaning and maintenance are made possible by the smooth inner and exterior walls, which also reduce resistance to fluid movement.
Design of the connection ends The furnace tube ends are sometimes built with conventional connection mechanisms to allow connection with other system components. These structures might be quick connectors, flanges, or threads.
Porous architectural alumina ceramic furnace tubes may be required for certain specialised applications to perform specific filtering or catalytic tasks.
