Our Platinum Iridium Tubes are designed for researchers who need the best. With a purity of 99.95%–99.99%, these tubes deliver top-tier performance. The PtIr5 alloy has a melting point of 1790°C, a density of 21.49 g/cm³, and a tensile strength of 274 MPa, while PtIr10 offers a melting point of 1800°C, a density of 21.53 g/cm³, and a tensile strength of 382 MPa. Their hardness (90 HV for PtIr5, 130 HV for PtIr10 in soft state) ensures durability, and their electrical resistivity (19.0 µΩ·cm for PtIr5, 24.5 µΩ·cm for PtIr10 at 20°C) supports stable performance in sensor and electrical applications.

We offer these tubes in a range of forms, from ultra-fine capillary tubes with outer diameters as small as 0.2 mm to larger tubes for robust applications. Customization is our strength—whether you need a specific wall thickness or length, we tailor our tubes to your exact specs. Our manufacturing process complies with ASTM B684 standards, and every tube undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensure precision and reliability. We package them securely in padded cartons or wooden cases for safe delivery worldwide.

The platinum-iridium alloy’s corrosion resistance and thermal stability make it ideal for scientific research. The iridium content enhances strength, giving our tubes an edge over pure platinum or stainless steel in high-precision applications. They resist harsh chemicals and extreme temperatures, ensuring contamination-free performance in sensitive experiments.

Platinum is great, but adding iridium takes our tubes to the next level. The 5% or 10% iridium in PtIr5 and PtIr10 boosts strength and wear resistance, making them tougher than pure platinum. Compared to stainless steel, our tubes offer superior corrosion resistance and thermal stability, critical for research involving aggressive chemicals or high temperatures. While stainless steel is cheaper, it can’t match the purity or precision of our platinum-iridium tubes in sensitive applications like mass spectrometry or chemical reactors.

Customization is where we shine. Need a capillary tube for a microfluidic experiment? We’ve got it covered. Want a specific length for a high-temperature reactor? No problem. Our advanced manufacturing techniques, like precision drawing and laser machining, ensure tight tolerances that meet the strictest research standards.
