Alumina Tube (One End Closed) is developed and made of Aluminum Oxide (Al2O3). Alumina is widely used in structural, electronics, medical and electrical fields as one of the most important ceramic oxides. Due to its high melting point (2054℃) and good chemical stability, Alumina ware is often used during high temperature demanding and contamination-free reactions. Alumina is also a good refractory metal. It can work up to 1750℃ in both oxidizing and reducing atmospheres. It’s also a good electrical insulator used as a substrate for integrated circuits. Considering Alumina’s price, high melting and boiling points, good resistance, strong hardness, and good electrical insulation, Alumina is widely spread and used all over the world in lots of industries.

Our Alumina Tube (One End Closed) is carefully handled during storage and transportation to preserve the quality of our product in its original condition.
One-end closed Alumina Tubes offer enhanced structural integrity and strength, making them ideal for applications requiring robust support and containment. The closed end provides a sealed environment, which is essential for processes involving high-pressure or specific gas flow conditions. Additionally, the closed end minimizes contamination risks, ensuring cleaner and more controlled reactions in sensitive applications such as semiconductor manufacturing.
Yes, SAM specializes in customizing Alumina Tubes to meet your specific requirements. Whether you need variations in diameter, length, wall thickness, or Al₂O₃ content (ranging from Al95 to Al997), our team can tailor the tubes to suit your unique application needs. Customization ensures optimal performance and seamless integration into your existing systems.
To maintain the integrity of Alumina Tubes during handling and installation, it is crucial to employ proper handling techniques. Use protective equipment such as gloves and safety glasses to avoid scratching or chipping. Handle the tubes gently to prevent mechanical stress or impacts. During installation, ensure that supports are adequately placed to avoid undue pressure or bending. Additionally, store the tubes in a clean, dry environment to prevent contamination and physical damage.
The lifespan of Alumina Tubes in high-temperature applications is highly dependent on the specific operating conditions, including temperature ranges, chemical exposure, and mechanical stresses. However, due to alumina's excellent thermal stability, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength, Alumina Tubes typically exhibit a long service life, often lasting several years even in demanding environments. Regular maintenance and adherence to operational guidelines can further enhance their durability and performance.
Alumina Tubes are environmentally friendly due to their non-toxic nature and high durability, which reduces the frequency of replacements and associated waste. In terms of safety, it is important to handle Alumina Tubes properly to prevent physical injuries from sharp edges or breakage. Additionally, when used in high-temperature or chemical environments, appropriate safety measures should be implemented to protect operators and personnel. Disposal of alumina waste should comply with local environmental regulations to minimize any potential environmental impact.
