Yittria Stablized Zirconia (YSZ_- )  are extremely refractory materials. They possess excellent chemical inertness and corrosion resistance at temperatures up to 2200^oC, well above the melting point of alumina.  Zirconia are stabilized in the cubic crystal structure to avoid cracking and mechanical weakening during heating and cooling. In addition to their refractoriness, they offer low thermal conductivity and are electrical conductors above 800 ^oC. They also possess the unique ability to allow oxygen ions to move freely through the crystal structure above 600 ^oC.

• Max. Operation temperature: 2200 ^oC (no load)
• O.D:  50.8 mm (2")              +/- 4% or +/-1.27 mm
• I.D: 41.92 mm (1-5/8")          +/- 4% or +/-1.27 mm
• Length: 936  mm (36")
• Made in USA
   

Warning & Tips

• The YSZ tube is very brittle and must be handled very carefully.  When used as a processing tube, the heating and cooling rates should be as slow as possible (usually <5°C/minute above 800°C and < 2°C/minute above 1500°C).  MTI is not responsible for any damage caused by the user. The manufacturer does not provide any warranty for the product.

• For vacuum sealing, please choose vacuum flanges at the related product below.

• In order get longer tube service life, Please use quartz or alumia crucible to carry sample, instead loading sample directly inside tube, please click picture below to choose one crucible boat:
