What are Alumina Tubes?

multi-bore alumina ceramic tubes in assorted sizes

Alumina Pipe Material Composition:

Alumina tubes (also known as alumina ceramic tubes or alumina corundum tubes) are made primarily from α-phase aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃). Common purity levels include 95% alumina, 99% alumina, and high-purity grades ≥99.7%, depending on the application.

These ceramic pipes are formed through sintering processes, resulting in a dense, stable, and high-strength tubular structure ideal for demanding industrial environments.

FAQ

Yes. We have alumina ceramic tubes for sale in standard sizes, available for immediate shipment. We also support bulk orders and custom production for OEM clients.

The alumina tube price depends on:

  • Material purity (96%, 99%, 99.7%)
  • Dimensions and tolerances
  • Quantity (bulk pricing available)
  • Customization complexity

We offer competitive factory prices and wholesale discounts for repeat orders.

Alumina tubes are commonly used in:

  • Thermocouple protection tubes
  • Furnace heating systems
  • Vacuum and high-pressure environments
  • Electrical insulation sleeves
  • Chemical sampling and fluid handling

They are ideal for high-temperature, corrosive, and electrically sensitive environments.

Yes, they are gas-tight and chemically stable, ideal for vacuum and pressure systems. 

Vacuum: They handle high vacuums (down to 10⁻⁷ Torr at 1400°C), resist outgassing, and insulate electrically, making them great for vacuum furnaces and feedthroughs.
High Pressure: Strong and corrosion-resistant, they withstand high pressure in reactors, gas systems, or sensor sheaths.
Key Features: High heat resistance (up to 1800°C), excellent insulation, and chemical stability.
Tips: Use high-purity alumina (99.7%–99.8%) for best results. Avoid sudden pressure changes to prevent cracking.

To get a custom alumina tube quote, please provide:

  • Material purity (e.g., 99%, 99.7%)
  • Outer diameter (OD), inner diameter (ID), length
  • Tolerances and surface finish
  • Quantity (MOQ or batch size)
  • Drawings or CAD files (PDF, STEP, DWG)

Sample orders: 2-3 weeks, Mass production: 3-5 weeks after sample approval (Detailed lead time depends on the complexity and specifications of the product), Standard products: 24-hour shipping from stock.

We do not recommend cutting alumina tubes yourself. Alumina is extremely hard and brittle. Improper handling may cause cracking or breakage.

Professional machining requires:

  • Diamond tools
  • CNC grinding or ultrasonic cutting
  • Dust control and safety measures

We suggest ordering pre-cut or custom-machined alumina tubes from ADCERAX.

Here's a simpler guide to keeping your alumina tubes clean and in good condition:

Safety & Handling:

  • Wear Gloves & Eye Protection: Protect yourself and keep tubes clean.
  • Be Gentle: Alumina is hard but brittle. Avoid drops, impacts, or bending.
  • Temperature Changes: Heat up and cool down tubes slowly to prevent cracking (no thermal shock).

Simple Cleaning:

  • Dust/Loose Bits: Use oil-free compressed air or a soft brush. Wipe gently with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth.
  • Fingerprints/Oils: Wipe with a lint-free cloth dampened with Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) or Acetone. Let it dry fully.
  • Water-Soluble Dirt: Wash with pure (deionized) water. If needed, use a mild lab detergent, but rinse very thoroughly with pure water afterward. Dry completely (air dry or low-heat oven, slowly).

Tougher Cleaning (Use Caution):

For baked-on stuff, very gentle scraping with plastic (NO METAL) might work.
For specific chemical residues, consult an Adcerax before using acids (NEVER Hydrofluoric Acid) or heat cleaning.

What NOT To Do:

NEVER use Hydrofluoric Acid (HF).
NO harsh scrubbing (like steel wool or sandpaper).
NO sudden hot/cold changes.
NO dropping or hitting.

Maintenance:

  • Handle Cleanly: Always use clean gloves.
  • Store Safely: Keep tubes separate and padded in a clean, dry place.
  • Inspect Before Use: Check for cracks or chips, especially before heating.

Following these steps helps keep your alumina tubes working well for longer. When in doubt, Please contact us.
