Almath Crucibles offer a variety of sapphire tubes.

Sapphire tubes are ideal for protecting high-temperature thermocouples in corrosive environments, are 100% gas tight and will operate up to 2000C.
  • These tubes are not always held in stock – please check current delivery times with us if this is critical
  • Different diameters and lengths are available on request. Please ask
  • We can also offer custom-made sapphire products. Please request a quotation

Typical Applications

  • High-temperature protection tubes
  • Kiln furniture
  • Electrical insulators/substrates
  • Engineering ceramics in turbine engine parts
  • Infrared-transmitting windows
