Iridium Tube/Pipe Applications

  • Aerospace Industry: Used in spacecraft components, rocket engines, and exhaust systems due to their ability to withstand extreme temperatures and harsh conditions.
  • Chemical Processing: Employed in chemical reactors and systems that deal with highly corrosive substances, as iridium resists oxidation and degradation.
  • Electronics: Used in vacuum systems, as well as in components of electron microscopes and other high-precision instruments.
  • Catalytic Converters: Iridium pipes are used in catalytic converters for chemical reactions at high temperatures, especially in the automotive industry.
  • Medical Equipment: Used in medical devices that require high resistance to corrosion and high temperatures, such as in certain surgical tools or equipment exposed to high sterilization processes.

Iridium Tube/Pipe Packaging

Iridium Tube/Pipe is carefully placed in wooden cases or cartons with additional soft materials to support and prevent shifting during transportation. This packaging method guarantees the integrity of the products throughout the delivery process.
