Alumina Combustion Boat with Hole for Controlled Gas Flow in Combustion Tubes

Alumina Oxide Combustion Boats with Hole

• Steel & Alloys – Carbon/Sulfur Determination (Metallurgy & Materials Testing)

  ✅ Key Advantages

  1. Hole-driven oxygen access accelerates combustion and stabilizes CO₂/SO₂ release for detection.
  2. High-temperature stability supports consistent blanks across repeated cycles.
  3. Dimensional control and low CTE help maintain seal quality with furnace tubes and covers.️

  ✅ Problem Solved

  In routine C/S testing, variable airflow caused drift and repeat runs. Adopting a 4 mm-hole boat with a matched lid improved gas exchange and peak stability in detection. Over a 1,000-run window, rework frequency decreased as background values stabilized, while breakage fell due to better fit and durable rim geometry.

• Coal/Coke & Solid Fuels – Sulfur and Ash Work (Energy & Fuel Analysis)

  ✅ Key Advantages

  1. Hole-driven oxygen access accelerates combustion and stabilizes CO₂/SO₂ release for detection.
  2. High-temperature stability supports consistent blanks across repeated cycles.
  3. Dimensional control and low CTE help maintain seal quality with furnace tubes and covers.

• Battery Materials & Powder Chemistry – Residuals/LOI

  ✅ Key Advantages

  1. High-temperature alumina reduces warping during binder burn-off and residue checks.
  2. Tuned hole size/position improves off-gas release for high-solids samples.
  3. Custom footprints align with pilot-line carriers.

  ✅ Problem Solved

  Pilot lines reported inconsistent LOI on cathode powders. Boats with optimized hole geometry improved off-gas paths; quarter-over-quarter repeatability increased and retests declined as carriers and trays were standardized.

Combustion Boat Alumina with Hole Usage Instructions

• Use

  1. Before use, check that the alumina combustion boat with hole is free from surface cracks or chips.
  2. Place the sample centrally, ensuring the hole remains unobstructed for airflow.
  3. Fit the matched lid (with or without hole) when required by the analyzer method.
  4. Follow the analyzer’s recommended furnace temperature and gas settings to ensure repeatable results.
  5. Do not exceed the designed sample capacity, as overloading may affect combustion efficiency.

• Store

  1. Keep boats in a dry, ambient environment; avoid high humidity or sudden temperature swings.
  2. Store in their original packaging with separators to prevent rim contact or edge chipping.
  3. When long-term storage is required, use sealed containers with desiccant packs to avoid moisture absorption.
  4. Label cartons with batch numbers for easier traceability and inventory management.

• Clean

  1. Allow the boat to cool naturally before handling.
  2. Remove residues by gentle brushing or, if necessary, by rinsing with mild non-corrosive solvents.
  3. Avoid ultrasonic cleaning or harsh abrasives that can weaken the ceramic surface.
  4. Ensure complete drying before reuse to prevent thermal shock on reheating.

• Common Misuse & Fix

  1. Over-packing samples → Blocks the airflow channel; reduce sample mass and keep the hole clear.
  2. Rapid quenching → Sudden immersion in liquid causes thermal shock; always allow natural cooling.
  3. Lid mismatch → Improper lid size or hole alignment leads to leakage and data drift; confirm diameter and alignment before runs.
  4. Stacking without separators → Direct rim-to-rim stacking increases chipping risk; always use dividers.
  5. Using cracked boats → Hairline cracks can propagate under heat; discard and replace to avoid sample loss.

Alumina Combustion Boat with Hole FAQ

1. Q: What hole diameters are typical for an alumina combustion boat with hole?
   A: Commonly 3–5 mm; choose based on sample mass and airflow.
2. Q: Do you supply ceramic lids with a 4 mm hole?
   A: Yes. Lids with 4 mm holes are available and sized to match the boats and carriers.
3. Q: Is 99.7% alumina suitable for high-temperature oxygen combustion?
   A: Yes. It supports demanding furnace profiles when operated per method settings.
4. Q: Can these alumina combustion boats with hole replace metal boats to reduce contamination?
   A: Alumina minimizes metallic pickup and is preferred in many trace C/S analyses.
5. Q: How do I choose between boats with hole and without?
   A: Use with-hole when gas exchange and off-gas release are critical; without-hole when containment is prioritized.
6. Q: Do you offer samples for fit checks before bulk orders?
   A: Yes. We will offer small alumina combustion boats with hole as samples to validate hole alignment, furnace clearances, and carriers.
