99.7 Ceramic Sheath
Description
Technical Parameters

Products Description
The 99.7 ceramic sheath is made of aluminum oxide powder containing approximately 99.7%. By controlling the selection of raw materials, high-temperature sintering, and precision processing, the finished product forms a dense microstructure with extremely low porosity. Unlike traditional metal protective tubes, high-purity alumina ceramics do not oxidize, corrode, or contaminate surrounding materials at high temperatures. Its low thermal expansion and excellent dimensional stability help maintain measurement accuracy while extending the service life of internal components. Widely used in heat treatment, steel production, non-ferrous metallurgy, petrochemical processing, semiconductor manufacturing, laboratory furnaces, and environmental monitoring equipment.
The production of ceramic sheaths has strict dimensional tolerances to ensure compatibility with thermocouples, resistance temperature detectors, and customized sensing components. According to installation requirements, the product can provide different outer diameters, inner holes, lengths, enclosed configurations, or machining features for integration into various industrial systems.
advantages
1. High purity ceramic materials ensure stable insulation
The 99.7 ceramic sheath is made of high-purity alumina, which provides excellent electrical insulation performance even under harsh operating conditions. Low impurity content helps reduce leakage and facilitates more reliable signal transmission for temperature sensors and heating elements used in industrial equipment.
2. Excellent high temperature resistance performance
Unlike many metal protective tubes, alumina ceramics can maintain structural stability at most industrial furnace temperatures. This material has minimal softening and maintains its dimensional accuracy, allowing sensitive measuring components to remain in the correct position over long production cycles.
3. Chemical corrosion resistance
The stable crystal structure and high purity make the product highly resistant to corrosion from most acids, bases, organic solvents, and high-temperature gases. It does not react with most metal melts and glass melts at high temperatures, and can resist erosion to some extent by reducing atmospheres such as hydrogen and carbon monoxide. In petrochemical and pharmaceutical production environments with corrosive media, its service life is several times longer than that of metal protective tubes, and it will not cause impurity contamination to the product, making it suitable for high-purity production scenarios.
4. High mechanical hardness
The dense ceramic body provides excellent surface hardness and compressive strength. It can withstand the wear and tear of particulate matter in the air, powder movement, and repeated contact during installation or maintenance. Even in equipment exposed to continuous vibration or dust, properly selected ceramic sheaths can continue to protect internal components.
5. Stable size under thermal cycling
Repeated heating and cooling will gradually affect many engineering materials. High quality alumina ceramics have low thermal expansion, which helps to maintain precise dimensions of the protective tube after multiple operating cycles.
6. High airtightness and pollution resistance
After high-temperature densification sintering, the product has a near zero porosity and excellent airtightness, which can effectively prevent high-temperature gases, molten liquids, and dust from infiltrating the pipe and corroding internal components. For production scenarios such as semiconductors and electronic ceramics that require extremely high purity, high-purity alumina materials themselves will not precipitate harmful impurities at high temperatures, avoiding secondary pollution of the production environment and products caused by the protective tube itself.
Application
1. Temperature protection of industrial furnaces
99.7 Ceramic sheaths are typically installed around thermocouples in heat treatment furnaces, sintering kilns, and melting equipment. Its main function is to protect the temperature sensor from direct flames, hot gases, and abrasive particles, while allowing for accurate thermal measurements throughout the entire production process.
2. Metallurgical production
The processing of steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals involves continuous exposure to extremely high temperatures and oxidizing atmospheres. Ceramic sheaths help protect sensing elements from the effects of molten splashes, furnace dust, and corrosive gases.
3. Ceramic and glass manufacturing
Kilns used for firing ceramics or producing glass require stable temperature control to ensure consistent product quality. Ceramic protective tubes provide long-term durability in these environments, while maintaining precise positioning of temperature probes even in repeated heating cycles.
4. Laboratories and scientific instruments
High temperature laboratories often use ceramic protective tubes in experimental furnaces, material testing systems, and thermal analysis equipment. Their excellent insulation properties reduce interference between sensing elements and surrounding devices, helping researchers obtain stable and reproducible measurement results.
5. Petrochemical processing equipment
Refineries and chemical plants often operate reactors and heating systems under corrosive conditions. Ceramic protective tubes help isolate temperature sensors from corrosive process media, reduce direct chemical erosion, and extend the service life of expensive instruments.
6. Production of Semiconductor and Electronic Materials
Manufacturing electronic ceramics and semiconductor materials requires strict temperature uniformity and minimal pollution. High purity alumina components are widely used because they introduce minimal impurities while maintaining reliable performance in clean, high-temperature production environments.
7. Renewable energy and advanced manufacturing industry
With the continuous development of industries such as lithium battery materials, hydrogen technology, and advanced powder processing, the demand for precise high-temperature measurement is also increasing. Durable ceramic protective components provide reliable support for process monitoring, helping to achieve safer operations and higher product consistency in modern manufacturing facilities.
Precautions
1. After receiving the 99.7 ceramic sheath, ensure that the tube is dry and does not leave any water vapor.
2. The alumina insulated ceramic sheath may appear in different colors and can be improved by exposing the pipeline to sunlight for a period of time.
3. 99.7 Ceramic sheaths should be uniformly heated to avoid sudden cooling and heating. Items with significant temperature differences from ceramic tubes should not be used in contact with the tube body.
4. The maximum working temperature of the aluminum oxide thermocouple protection tube is 1800 degrees, but we recommend long-term use at temperatures below 1700 degrees and keeping it vertically placed, which will greatly improve the service life of the protection tube.
