Sapphire Tube
Sapphire tubes are cylindrical structures made of single crystal alumina, also known as sapphire. They are known for their excellent physical and chemical properties, such as high hardness, high temperature resistance, and chemical inertness, making them suitable for use in extreme conditions.
Sapphire tubes have various applications in industries such as aerospace, defense, electronics, and medical devices. They can be used as insulation or protective sleeves for thermocouples, heaters, and sensors operating at high temperatures. They can also be used as vacuum feedthroughs, laser components, and in high-pressure environments.
Sapphire tubes are available in different sizes and thicknesses, and can be customized according to specific requirements. They can be fabricated using various methods such as cutting, grinding, polishing, and laser machining.
Sapphire tubes are preferred over other materials due to their unique combination of properties, including high thermal conductivity, excellent optical transmission, and resistance to wear and corrosion.
