Faqs:
  • What are the primary applications of sapphire tubes?
    Sapphire tubes are widely used in semiconductor manufacturing (e.g., plasma containment, thermocouple protection), medical devices (e.g., laser surgical tools), optical systems (e.g., UV/IR lamp envelopes), and high-pressure industrial equipment (e.g., chemical reactors) due to their extreme durability and transparency.
  • Why choose sapphire tubes over quartz or ceramics?
    Sapphire tubes outperform quartz and ceramics in high-temperature stability (up to 2000°C), chemical inertness (resists acids/alkalis), and mechanical strength, making them ideal for harsh environments like plasma processing and aerospace systems.
  • What customization options are available for sapphire tubes?
    Sapphire tubes can be customized in diameters ranging from Φ5mm to Φ150mm, with wall thicknesses from 0.5-20mm, to meet specific application requirements in semiconductor, optoelectronic, and industrial equipment sectors.
