Quartz tubes are designed to handle significant pressure, making them ideal for various applications.
The design tensile strength of a quartz tube can exceed 4.8 x 10^7 Pa (7,000 psi) with good surface quality.
In specific applications, a quartz tube can withstand up to 45,000 psi (310 MPa).
Quartz tubes used in Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition (LPCVD) furnace systems often have diameters ranging from 50 mm to 200 mm.
These tubes are engineered to endure the pressure and temperature conditions necessary for the LPCVD process.
Understanding Quartz Tube Pressure Ratings: 4 Key Factors
For small-scale laboratory setups, it's crucial to keep the manufacturer's documentation regarding environmental, temperature, and pressure ratings.
Ensure that the maximum allowable working pressure and temperature do not surpass the ratings of the lowest-rated component in your system.
Pressure relief devices should be employed to prevent over-pressurization.
Glass equipment should not be exposed to pressure above atmospheric unless it is specifically designed for such use.
In large-scale or high-pressure setups, similar guidelines apply, but additional precautions are necessary.
Mini presses, weighing around 4 kilograms, can accurately apply 2 tons of pressure.
These mini presses are commonly used in laboratory applications to produce smaller pellets.
Hydraulic mini presses are hand-pumped and equipped with a pressure gauge, ensuring consistent and repeatable pressure application.
Ensuring Safe and Efficient Operation: 4 Best Practices
The pressure a quartz tube can handle depends on its design, surface quality, and specific application.
Always refer to the manufacturer's specifications and guidelines for each specific quartz tube.
This ensures safe and efficient operation in your laboratory or industrial setup.
