Alumina Single Bore Tubes Customized Applications

  • Laboratory Furnace

    ✅Key Advantages

    1. Precision Inner Diameter Control (±0.1mm)
    Ensures consistent gas flow rates and sample positioning accuracy in analytical furnaces.

    2. Contamination-Free Surface Finish
    Polished inner bore reduces particle adhesion, supporting trace-level chemical analysis without interference.

    3. Custom Lengths up to 1000mm for Deep Furnace Chambers
    Allows full-length sample insertion in vertical tube furnaces used in TGA/DSC systems.

    ✅ ️Problem Solved

    A German university lab reported inconsistent TGA results due to micro-contamination from standard ceramic tubes. After switching to customized alumina single bore tubes with polished 99.5% Al₂O₃ and ±0.1mm ID tolerance, their baseline drift dropped by 87%, and repeatability improved from ±0.8% to ±0.2% across 50 thermal cycles.

  • Industrial Heating Systems

    ✅️Key Advantages

    1. Custom Wall Thickness up to 5mm for Arc Flash Protection
    Enhances dielectric strength in high-voltage heating zones, reducing insulation failure risk.

    2. Threaded End Design for Secure Sensor Mounting
    Prevents thermocouple displacement during thermal cycling in rotary kilns and batch furnaces.

    3. Corrosion-Resistant Alumina ≥99.5% in Chloride-Rich Atmospheres
    Maintains structural integrity after 1000+ hours in NaCl vapour at 1200°C, verified by XRD analysis.

    ✅ ️Problem Solved

     A U.S. heat treatment plant experienced 3 sensor failures/month due to sheath corrosion in chloride-rich furnaces. After replacing with customized alumina single bore tubes (99.5% purity, 4mm wall, threaded ends), failure rate dropped to zero over 6 months, saving $4,800 in downtime and sensor replacement costs.

  • Gas Sensor Protection

     ️Key Advantages

    1. Closed-End Customization for Sensor Isolation
    Prevents gas backflow and electrical interference in high-sensitivity detection chambers.

    2. Dimensional Tolerance ±0.1mm for Probe Alignment
    Ensures precise sensor positioning in compact multi-sensor arrays under 10mm spacing.

    3. Verified Stability in 5% H₂/95% N₂ at 1000°C for 500 Hours
    Maintains dielectric strength and mechanical integrity in reducing atmospheres, confirmed by post-test SEM.

    ✅️Problem Solved

    A Japanese automotive R&D centre reported sensor drift in NOx detection under 5% H₂ at 950°C. After switching to customized closed-end alumina single bore tubes with ±0.1mm tolerance, signal stability improved by 92% over 300 hours, reducing recalibration frequency from weekly to quarterly.

Alumina Single Bore Tubes Customized Usage Instructions

  • Install & Operating

    1. Installation

    a. Use ceramic-compatible mounting brackets or soft metal clamps to prevent cracking.
    b. For closed-end tubes, ensure the sealed end faces the heat source or gas flow direction.

    2. Operating Conditions

    a. Gradually heat the tube to avoid thermal shock; recommended ramp rate: ≤5°C/min.
    b. Do not exceed the maximum continuous operating temperature of 1650°C.
    c. Avoid direct flame contact unless specifically designed for burner environments.

    3. Compatibility Check

    a. Align the tube carefully with the sensor, thermocouple, or gas inlet to avoid lateral stress.
    b. Ensure the tube material (≥99.5% Al₂O₃) is chemically compatible with the process gas (e.g., H₂, O₂, Cl₂).
    c. For reducing atmospheres, verify long-term stability via prior test data or request a sample.

  • Clean & Maintain

    1. Routine Cleaning

    a. Use compressed air to remove loose particles after each use.
    For chemical residues, soak in dilute nitric acid (HNO₃ <10%) for 30 minutes, then rinse with deionized water.
    b. Dry at 100–120°C before reuse.

    2. Deep Cleaning (for analytical use)

    a. Ultrasonic cleaning in ethanol or acetone is recommended for trace-level contamination control.
    b. Avoid abrasive brushes or mechanical scrubbing to prevent microcracks.

    3. Inspection

    a. Check for surface discolouration, hairline cracks, or deformation every 10–20 cycles.
    b. Replace tubes showing signs of glaze loss or internal erosion.

  • Store

    a. Store in a dry, vibration-free environment at room temperature.
    b. Avoid stacking tubes directly; use foam or soft dividers between each piece.
    c. Keep away from acidic vapours or corrosive chemicals in storage areas.

  • Common Misuse to Solutions

    Problem 1: Tube cracked after first use
    → Likely due to thermal shock. Always preheat gradually and avoid sudden temperature changes.

    Problem 2: Sensor misalignment inside the tube
    → Caused by improper ID tolerance. Use customized tubes with ±0.1mm precision for tight-fit assemblies.

    Problem 3: Contamination in analytical results
    → May result from an uncleaned inner bore. Use ultrasonic cleaning and avoid reusing tubes exposed to reactive gases.

    Problem 4: Tube stuck in mounting fixture after heating
    → Expansion mismatch. Use mounting materials with similar thermal expansion coefficients or allow cooling before removal.
