PT7028 Platinum Rhodium Alloy Tube

Platinum-Rhodium Alloy Tube Description

Tubes made from Platinum-Rhodium Alloy are commonly utilised in applications requiring high temperature stability, corrosion resistance, and durability. The alloy composition of 90% Platinum and 10% Rhodium provides an optimal balance between strength and high oxidation resistance, making it a preferred choice for catalysts, thermocouples, and industrial applications. The tube form is particularly well-suited for high-performance systems where thermal stability and resistance to chemical attacks are critical.

Applications of Platinum-Rhodium Alloy Tubes

• Catalytic Applications: Used in catalysts where high temperatures and corrosive environments are present.
• Thermocouples: Ideal for use in thermocouples for temperature measurement due to its excellent thermal stability.
• Industrial Processes: Employed in processes requiring resistance to extreme heat and corrosion, such as within the chemical and automotive industries.
• Aerospace: Suitable for components exposed to extreme conditions in the aerospace sector.
