Features
Introduction to Laboratory Silica Crucibles
Our laboratory silica crucibles are crafted from high-purity silica (SiO₂), ideal for high-temperature and chemically challenging environments. With an outstanding melting point of 1710°C, these crucibles excel in precision laboratory work, including metal melting, thermal analysis, and chemical testing. Their superior resistance to thermal shock and chemical reactions ensures consistent, reliable results, making them a critical tool in any advanced laboratory.
Material Composition and Thermal Properties
Laboratory silica crucibles are primarily composed of 45% pure silica, renowned for its excellent heat resistance and low thermal expansion. This composition enables our crucibles to handle temperatures as high as 1600°C without cracking, making them perfect for extreme lab conditions.
| Property | Specification |
|---|---|
| Purity | 45% Pure Silica (SiO₂) |
| Melting Point | 1710°C |
| Maximum Operating Temp | 1600°C |
| Thermal Shock Resistance | Excellent |
With minimal thermal expansion, our crucibles are specifically designed to withstand sudden temperature shifts, reducing the risk of fractures during experiments.
Mechanical and Thermal Performance in Lab Applications
Laboratory processes often expose crucibles to fluctuating high temperatures, and our silica crucibles excel under these conditions. Whether melting metals like copper (melting point: 1085°C) or conducting thermal analysis like Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), these crucibles offer unmatched performance. Their superior resistance to rapid heating and cooling cycles makes them a reliable choice for demanding scientific work.
Example Applications:
- Metal Smelting (Copper, Alloys)
- Thermal Analysis (DSC, DTA)
- Ceramic and Refractory Testing
Chemical Resistance and Stability
Our silica crucibles exhibit high chemical inertness, making them resistant to reactions with aggressive substances such as molten oxides and metallic compounds. This ensures that no contaminants are introduced to your samples, preserving the integrity of your research.
| Key Chemical Properties | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Resistance to Oxidation | Prevents surface degradation |
| Inert to Acids and Bases | Ensures uncontaminated experiments |
Whether working with reactive metals or corrosive substances, our crucibles maintain purity, providing stable, reliable results for your lab tests.
