Our PtIr20 Platinum Iridium Tubes are engineered for high-stakes environments. With a purity of 99.95%–99.99%, these tubes boast a melting point of 1820°C, a density of 21.60 g/cm³, and a tensile strength of 450 MPa. Their hardness (170 HV in soft state, up to 250 HV when hardened) ensures they can handle intense mechanical stress, while their electrical resistivity of 28.0 µΩ·cm at 20°C supports stable performance in sensor and electrical applications.

We offer these tubes in a variety of forms, from standard sizes to custom dimensions tailored to your project. Whether you need a capillary tube with a 0.2 mm outer diameter or a larger tube for structural components, we can deliver. Our manufacturing process complies with ASTM B684 standards, and every tube undergoes stringent quality checks to ensure precision and reliability. We package them securely in wooden cases or padded cartons to guarantee safe delivery, no matter where you are.

The 20% iridium content in our PtIr20 tubes sets them apart. This higher iridium ratio enhances strength and wear resistance compared to PtIr10 or pure platinum, making them ideal for aerospace applications where durability is critical. They also resist corrosion from harsh chemicals and fuels, ensuring long-term performance in challenging environments.

Platinum is solid, but adding 20% iridium makes our PtIr20 tubes a powerhouse. The increased iridium content boosts mechanical strength and wear resistance, making them tougher than PtIr10 or pure platinum tubes. Compared to titanium, our tubes offer superior corrosion resistance and stability in extreme temperatures, critical for aerospace systems. While titanium is lighter and less expensive, it can’t match the durability and precision of PtIr20 in high-stress applications like jet engine sensors or spacecraft fuel systems.

Customization is a key strength. Need a specific wall thickness for a fuel line? We’ve got it. Want a unique length for a sensor component? No problem. Our advanced manufacturing techniques, like precision extrusion and laser cutting, ensure tight tolerances that meet the strictest aerospace standards.
