Our PtIr25 Platinum Iridium Tubes are engineered for extreme environments. With a purity of 99.95%–99.99%, these tubes boast a melting point of 1830°C, a density of 21.65 g/cm³, and a tensile strength of 500 MPa. Their hardness (200 HV in soft state, up to 300 HV when hardened) ensures they can withstand intense mechanical stress, while their electrical resistivity of 30.0 µΩ·cm at 20°C supports reliable performance in sensor and electrical applications.
We offer these tubes in a range of forms, from capillary sizes with outer diameters as small as 0.2 mm to larger tubes for structural components. 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 top-notch performance. We package them securely in padded cartons or wooden cases for safe delivery worldwide.
The 25% iridium content in our PtIr25 tubes makes them exceptionally tough. This high iridium ratio enhances strength and wear resistance compared to PtIr10 or pure platinum, making them ideal for chemical processing applications where durability is critical. They also resist corrosion from aggressive chemicals like acids and alkalis, ensuring long-term reliability in harsh environments.

Platinum is fantastic, but adding 25% iridium takes our PtIr25 tubes to another level. The higher iridium content boosts mechanical strength and wear resistance, making them tougher than PtIr10 or pure platinum tubes. Compared to stainless steel, our tubes offer superior corrosion resistance and high-temperature stability, critical for chemical processing reactors. While stainless steel is cheaper, it can’t match the durability or precision of PtIr25 in extreme conditions like chlor-alkali electrolysis or high-temperature furnaces.
Customization is where we excel. Need a capillary tube for a chemical sensor? We can make it happen. Want a specific length for a reactor lining? No problem. Our advanced manufacturing techniques, like precision extrusion and laser cutting, ensure tight tolerances that meet the strictest industry standards.
