Small-Size Sapphire Tubes Polished Wear-Resistant for High-Temperature Pressure Sensors
Sapphire tubes small size are precision tubular components fabricated from high - purity single - crystal sapphire. They are well - suited for high - end fields such as microfluidics, laser optics, sensors, and medical devices. ZMSH offers customized services, allowing for the adjustment of parameters including inner/outer diameter, wall thickness, surface finish, and crystal orientation to meet the requirements of different application scenarios. Moreover, it supports rapid delivery for small - batch orders, ensuring the stable operation of the products in extreme environments.
Key Characteristics
1. Ultra - high Mechanical Strength: Capable of withstanding the impact of high - pressure micro - channels, with a bending strength ranging from 500 to 700 MPa.
2. High - temperature Resistance: Can operate stably at 1500 °C, making it suitable for high - temperature scenarios such as thermopile sensors and combustion chamber monitoring.
3. Optical Transparency: It has a wide spectral transmission range from 0.2 to 5.0 μm, which is appropriate for laser transmission in the ultraviolet and infrared spectra.
4. Chemical Inertness: Resistant to strong acids, strong bases, and organic solvents, suitable for use in harsh environments such as microfluidic chips and semiconductor manufacturing.
5. Low Adsorption: The surface is modified to be hydrophobic, reducing residues and making it applicable for biomedical fluid transportation.
