Alumina Furnace Tube for Thermocouple Protection, Φ1–200 mm,Length up to 3500 mm

Alumina Tube for Furnace Applications

• Thermocouple Protection

  ✅ Key Advantages

  1. Extended sensor service life
  Alumina furnace tubes maintain thermocouple integrity beyond 500+ thermal cycles at 1500 °C, reducing replacement frequency.

  2. Precision in extreme conditions
  Dimensional tolerance up to ±0.1 mm ensures stable probe alignment and accurate readings even under long-duration high-temperature runs.

  3. High dielectric reliability
  Dielectric strength above 10 kV/mm prevents signal leakage in electrically demanding furnace environments.️

  ✅ Problem Solved

  A German heat-treating company reported frequent thermocouple drift after only 200 hours at 1450 °C using standard mullite protection tubes. After switching to ADCERAX alumina furnace tubes, service life extended to over 600 hours without recalibration, while failure rates dropped by 40%. This reduced unscheduled downtime and saved several thousand euros annually in probe replacement and process interruptions.

• Ceramic & Glass Manufacturing

  ✅ Key Advantages

  1. Minimized glaze adherence
  Surface roughness ≤1.6 μm reduces glass melt residue, lowering cleaning downtime by over 30%.

  2. Thermal shock reliability
  Withstands ΔT up to 250 °C/min, enabling rapid firing and cooling cycles in pilot kilns.

  3. Improved yield consistency
  Dimensional stability keeps warpage <0.2% at 1600 °C, reducing defective glass or ceramic batches.

  ✅ Problem Solved

  A Spanish speciality glass manufacturer reported that quartz liners fractured within 40 cycles at 1500 °C, causing up to 12% scrap rate in pilot runs. After replacing with ADCERAX alumina furnace tubes, the liner lifetime extended beyond 180 cycles with no warping, glaze adhesion was reduced by 35%, and the defective batch ratio dropped below 4%. This improvement stabilized production trials and cut rework costs by thousands of euros per quarter.

• Educational Laboratories

  ✅ Key Advantages

  1. Cost-effective replacement cycle
  Average service life exceeds 150+ heating runs, lowering annual replacement budgets for teaching labs.

  2. Consistent size availability
  Stock diameters from 10–60 mm ID allow universities to standardize furnace setups across multiple departments.

  3. Safe handling in training
  Fracture toughness supports repeated student use, reducing accidental breakage incidents by over 25% compared to quartz.

  ✅ Problem Solved

  A U.S. university materials lab experienced frequent tube breakage during student training, with quartz tubes failing after only 40–50 runs and causing 20% schedule delays in semester projects. After switching to ADCERAX alumina furnace tubes, tube life extended to over 160 runs, unplanned downtime dropped to less than 5%, and the lab cut annual consumable costs by nearly 30%. This improved both teaching efficiency and long-term budget management.

Alumina Furnace Tubes Usage Instructions

• Install

  1. Verify tube OD vs. furnace bore and ensure even seating.
  2. Avoid point-loading or levering on the ends during placement.
  3. Use both hands to support the middle section when installing.

• Storage and Maintenance

  1. Store vertically or in padded horizontal racks to prevent bending stress.
  2. Cap both ends and keep in a dry, dust-free environment.
  3. Insert desiccant packs in storage to reduce moisture absorption.

• Cleaning

  1. Clean with non-abrasive media such as alumina powder or soft cloth.
  2. Avoid metallic brushes or strong acids that may damage the surface.
  3. Inspect regularly for glaze buildup or deposits after long cycles.

• Handling

  1. Allow the tube to cool to near ambient before removal.
  2. Lift with two hands at the centre to avoid edge chipping.
  3. Transport in bubble-wrap and carton/wooden crate for protection.

• Common Misuse & Fixes

  1. Seal leaks → check flange alignment and gasket compression; re-grind seating face if required.
  2. Thermal shock → increase ramp time; add intermediate dwell; use fibre plugs to buffer cold drafts.
  3. Assembly interference → request a tighter ID/OD band or specify a ground finish.
  4. Surface contamination → remove residue with mild solvent; avoid tools that may scratch.
