Sapphire tube high transparency 1inch 2inch 3inch custom glass tube length 10-800 mm 99.999% AL2O3 high purity
The key properties of sapphire tubes make them valuable in these applications, including
1. Excellent hardness: Sapphire is one of the hardest materials known, making sapphire tubes resistant to scratch and wear. Sapphire tube has the characteristics of high hardness of sapphire (Mohs hardness 9), high compressive strength, wear resistance and so on.
2. Optical clarity: Sapphire provides high light transmittance and minimal distortion, which is crucial in optical applications. The sapphire tube maintains excellent optical properties such as high refractive index (about 1.77) and wide optical transmission range (from ultraviolet to near infrared) of the sapphire material.
The light loss is low, usually around 0.1-0.3 dB/cm, which is suitable for the coupling and transmission of optical signals. Single mode or multi-mode optical transmission can be achieved.
3. Chemical resistance: Sapphire has strong resistance to most chemicals, ensuring long-term stability in corrosive environments. Good chemical stability, strong acid and alkali corrosion resistance.
4. High temperature resistance: sapphire can withstand high temperatures without deformation, making it suitable for applications involving heat. Able to withstand high temperatures (up to 1800°C) and high-pressure environments.
5. Mechanical durability: Sapphire has mechanical strength to ensure the long-term reliability of components made of sapphire pipes.
The following are typical uses of sapphire tubes in these applications
1. Laser system:
Sapphire tubes are used as gain media or laser transistors in laser systems. Sapphires emit lasers when exposed to a light source, and these tubes are commonly used in high-power lasers, laser cutting, and laser drilling applications.
2. Optical instruments:
Sapphire tubes can be used as optical components in optical instruments such as microscopes and cameras, such as tubes or frames. They maintain optical clarity and provide a durable frame for lenses and other optical components.
3. Pressure and temperature sensor:
Sapphire tubes are used as protective housings in pressure and temperature sensors. They protect sensitive internal components while allowing pressure and temperature to be measured in harsh or corrosive environments.
4. Control equipment:
Sapphire tubes are used in a variety of control devices and housings, and their robustness and optical properties are beneficial. They can accommodate optical sensors or precise internal components in protective control systems.
5. Industrial and scientific instruments:
Instruments used in industrial and scientific research may use sapphire tubes as structural or optical elements. They are used in these applications due to their durability and optical clarity.
6. Chemical and Analytical instruments:
Sapphire tubes are used in chemical and analytical instruments, such as spectrophotometers and chromatography systems. They are used as optical Windows or protective housings for components that require transparency and resistance to chemical exposure.
The use of sapphire tubes improves the performance and service life of instruments, meters and control equipment, where optical clarity, durability and resistance to harsh conditions are essential.
