Products

Five product families for sensor, furnace and laboratory buyers.

Protection tubes lead the range. The same materials and forming lines make the insulators, furnace tubes, crucibles and special-shaped parts that go around them.

How we make it

From alumina powder to a packed crate, in one factory.

Milling, forming, firing, finishing, inspection and packing all happen in our own factory in Tangshan.

  1. Two large grey drum ball mills inside a galvanised steel frame with diamond-mesh safety panels, under a steel mezzanine.

    02Milling

    The powder is milled in large drum ball mills.

  2. A large gas-fired kiln with a steel-framed front; through the arched door, long ceramic tubes hang inside.

    05Firing

    Tubes hang vertically in the kiln, and our written gas-kiln procedure controls firing with thermocouples and an optical pyrometer.

  3. Ivory ceramic tubes leaning against a white tiled wall, each with an oblong slot near the top and a line of small round holes down one side.

    06Finishing

    Tubes are cut to the ordered length, then slotted or drilled where the drawing calls for it.

  4. A steel vernier caliper with its jaws across the outside diameter of a thick-walled cream ceramic tube, seen end-on.

    07Inspection

    Outside and inside diameters are measured with vernier calipers.

Track record

Our protection tubes went into China’s solar manufacturing expansion.

As China built out its solar-panel manufacturing capacity, the factory supplied that expansion with thermocouple protection tubes for temperature measurement, at industrial scale.

The tubes we offer to export buyers come from the same long-running product line, made in the same factory in Tangshan.
