2 3/8" x 40" (60.5 OD x 51.5 ID x 1000 L, mm) Alumina Ceramic Tube - TA60D1000

2-3/8" OD Alumina tube ( 95% Al 2 O 3 material). Such an alumina tube can be used at operating temperatures of 1700 o C in both oxidizing and reducing atmospheres. Tubes have been evacuated to 10 -7 Torr at room temperature . It proves inert to carbon and refractory metals in many severe situations
