AC9833 Alumina Crucible, Al2O3 Crucible Cylindrical, 99%, 400 mL

Alumina Crucible, Al2O3 Crucible Cylindrical, 99%, 400 mL Description

This Alumina Crucible (Al2O3) is a cylindrical ceramic container with a 400 mL capacity. The specified flexural and compressive strengths ensure it withstands high mechanical stress, while the thermal conductivity of 30 W/(m·K) supports uniform heat distribution. Its chemical inertness and high density (3.7-3.9 g/cm³) make it suitable for processes requiring controlled thermal environments, thereby minimising contamination and ensuring process stability during high-temperature applications.
