2-Hole Alumina Tube Applications

  • Alumina Ceramic 2-Hole Tube in the Laboratory

    ✅ Key Advantages

    1. Dual-channel design enables simultaneous gas input and sampling
    Allows parallel gas flow and probe insertion, improving experimental throughput by up to 35%.

    2. Structural stability maintained at 1600°C under dual-flow conditions
    No deformation or leakage observed after 100+ hours of continuous high-temp operation.

    3. Chemical inertness ensures <0.5% contamination in reactive gas systems
    Validated in H₂/NH₃ atmospheres during catalyst screening experiments.

    ✅ Problem Solved

    A laboratory equipment manufacturer in the U.S. integrated ADCERAX 2-hole alumina tubes into their modular gas-phase reaction systems. Compared to single-hole tubes, the dual-channel design reduced experiment cycle time by 28% and eliminated cross-contamination between gas input and sampling lines. After 120 hours at 1600°C, no structural degradation or seal failure was reported, improving system reliability and reducing maintenance frequency.

    ✅ Problem Solved

    A thermal processing equipment supplier in Italy integrated ADCERAX 2-hole alumina tubes into their continuous sintering lines to separate heating wires from thermocouple leads. This dual-channel configuration enhanced thermal isolation and reduced signal noise, resulting in a 21% improvement in temperature uniformity. After undergoing over 100 thermal cycles in a corrosive H₂/N₂ atmosphere, the tubes maintained their full structural integrity, resulting in a 30% reduction in unplanned maintenance events.

Alumina Ceramic 2-Hole Tube Usage Instructions

  • Handling and Storage

    1. Store in a clean, dry environment with humidity below 60% to prevent surface contamination.
    2. Avoid contact with metals or abrasive objects to prevent scratches or micro-cracks.
    3. Handle with gloves to reduce the risk of contamination and protect the surface finish.

  • Installation Guidelines

    1. Ensure dimensional compatibility with equipment; tolerance within ±0.1 mm is recommended.
    2. Insert wires, thermocouples, or optical fibres into each channel with care to avoid internal stress.
    3. When sealing, use high-temperature gaskets suitable for alumina ceramic interfaces.

  • Operational Conditions

    1. Continuous operating temperature: up to 1650°C; short-term exposure: up to 1750°C.
    2. Heating and cooling rates should not exceed 5°C per minute to minimize thermal shock risk.
    3. Maintain the inner channels free of debris to ensure reliable insulation and performance.

  • Cleaning and Maintenance

    1. Clean using ethanol or deionized water; avoid corrosive cleaning agents such as HF or strong alkalis.
    2. Dry thoroughly at 100–120°C before reuse to ensure electrical insulation properties.
    3. Inspect channels regularly for blockages or cracks exceeding 0.2 mm and replace if necessary.
