Platinum Iridium Alloy Tube Applications

  • Medical Devices: Employed in medical implants or catheters, such as pacemaker electrode tubes or intravascular stents, due to their biocompatibility and resistance to bodily fluids.
  • Chemical Industry: Used as corrosion-resistant piping or reactor linings, especially for handling highly corrosive substances like strong acids, alkalis, or chlorides, such as in chlor-alkali electrolysis components.
  • Scientific Instruments: Utilized in high-precision laboratory equipment, such as sample transfer tubes in mass spectrometers or spectrographs, owing to their chemical inertness and thermal stability.
  • Aerospace: Applied in high-temperature sensor housings or fuel system piping, suitable for extreme environments in spacecraft or jet engines.
  • Electrical Contacts and Electrodes: Used as substrates for high-reliability electrical contact tubes or as electrode tubes in electrochemical experiments, particularly in scenarios requiring wear resistance and low resistance.
  • Catalyst Supports: Serve as structural supports for catalysts in chemical reactions, capable of withstanding high temperatures and corrosive gases.
  • High-End Manufacturing: Employed in specialized industrial applications, such as conduits in laser equipment or protective tubes in high-temperature furnaces.

Platinum Iridium Alloy Tube Packaging

Platinum Iridium Alloy Tube 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.
