Transparent Sapphire Tube AL2O3 High Hardness KY EFG Polished Lon Source Customization
Description of Sapphire tube:
When it comes to tube and rod materials, transparent or not, sapphire tubes are the go-to materials in so many applications. "Exceptional" applies to sapphire's performance under numerous conditions: mechanical, optical, thermal, and chemical. In these cases, a sapphire tube is without a peer.
The character of Sapphire tube:
- Sapphire tubes are the best high-pressure containers and transport plumbing for many high-pressure systems. A sapphire tube can handle extreme pressures while allowing for safe observation and spectral analysis of fluids and gasses.
- Sapphire tubes can be used in hostile environments to house sensitive sensors, protecting the sensors against pressure and mechanical abuse.
- Sapphire rods are superior for rod bearing and standoff applications that involve high abrasion and wear while maintaining dimensional stability.
- Sapphire transmits light from below 190nm to over 5 microns.
- Sapphire is highly robust at extreme temperatures and is readily available in tube form.
- Sapphire tubes are incredibly chemical and plasma-resistant.

FAQ:
1. Q:What is the pressure in the sapphire tube?
A:Sapphire capillary tube with inner diameter 0.6mm and wall thickness 0.2mm can withstand inside pressure exceeding 100 MPa.
2. Q:What is sapphire on the Mohs scale?
A: Sapphire ranks 9 on the Mohs hardness scale. Corundum is stable under normal wearing conditions, which means it's resistant to the effects of heat, light, and common chemicals.
