SC9865 Silicon Nitride Bonded Silicon Carbide Tube SNBC Tube OD. 42 mm

Silicon Nitride Bonded Silicon Carbide Tube SNBC Tube OD. 42 mm Description

Silicon Nitride Bonded Silicon Carbide Tube SNBC Tube OD. 42 mm is manufactured by sintering a controlled blend of silicon nitride (SiN) and silicon carbide (SiC) powders. Designed with a 42 mm outer diameter, this tube facilitates compatibility with standard processing equipment used in high-temperature environments. Its thermal conductivity of 15 W/(m·k) aids in effective heat management, while an operating temperature up to 1450 ℃ supports applications subjected to extreme thermal conditions. A density of at least 2.7 g/cm³ contributes to structural stability.

Silicon Nitride Bonded Silicon Carbide Tube SNBC Tube OD. 42 mm Applications

1.       Industrial Heating Systems
   - Used as a structural component in high-temperature furnaces to achieve stable heat distribution by leveraging controlled thermal conductivity.
   - Applied as an insulating tube in reactor chambers to manage thermal gradients by utilising its high operating temperature limit.

2.       Chemical Processing Equipment
   - Serves as a conduit in corrosive environments to achieve material stability by capitalising on the inert properties of silicon carbide.
   - Frequently used in flow systems for aggressive chemicals to maintain consistent structural integrity and thermal performance.

Silicon Nitride Bonded Silicon Carbide Tube SNBC Tube OD. 42 mm Packing

The tube is packaged in durable, sealed containers with foam inserts to mitigate mechanical shock and prevent contamination. Protective wrapping minimises exposure to environmental factors during transit. The packaging ensures that each tube is safeguarded against abrasion and moisture. Storage should occur in a dry, temperature-stable environment. Custom packaging options, including additional cushioning and labelling, are available upon request.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What quality control measures are implemented during production?
A1: SAM utilises thermal profiling and microstructure assessments using microscopy to monitor the sintering process, ensuring the homogeneity and consistency of the SiN and SiC phases.

Q2: How does the thermal conductivity value influence the tube's performance?
A2: The 15 W/(m·k) thermal conductivity facilitates efficient heat dispersion, which is critical in high-temperature applications by mitigating thermal gradients and preventing localized overheating.

Q3: What storage conditions are recommended for maintaining the tube's properties?
A3: The tube should be stored in a dry, temperature-controlled environment to minimise moisture uptake and temperature fluctuations that could affect its ceramic structure.

Additional Information

Ceramic materials such as silicon nitride and silicon carbide are widely studied for their exceptional performance under elevated temperatures and corrosive conditions.
