Extruding CeramTec Rubalit® ceramic material enables the production of rods and tubes. Among other applications, they are used as cores in electronic resistors or as CeramCool® cooling elements in liquid cooling.
Tubes for miniature fuses, thermocouple tubes for xenon headlights, limiter tubes in insulation technology or flame guide tubes are just a few examples of areas where silicate ceramic materials for pipes and tubes excel.
ALOTEC® is a highly specialized ceramic material for industrial corrosion and wear protection and is used widely to protect pipes and pipe systems from wear. Highly turbulent areas in particular, arcs, pipe necks, manifolds and inlet pipe ends often experience extreme wear. Ceramic linings with ALOTEC® achieve much longer a service life compared to steel.
Dosing and riser tubes manufactured from aluminum titanate ceramics (ATI) easily master the challenging working conditions in non-ferrous molten metal applications and have proven their efficacy in foundry technology. Aluminum titanate’s versatility makes it possible to produce a number of different pipe shapes with a variety of diameters and lengths up to 2,000 mm.

Tensiometer cells manufactured with porous P80 ceramics from CeramTec are used for analyzing soil moisture levels. Corona tubes made from alumina ensure good electrical insulation and are thus popular in the plasma printing industry. Membrane supports are designed as multi-channel tubes for liquid filtration.
Ceramic thermocouple tubes are used to manufacture temperature measurement and control devices and are designed with alumina or silicate ceramics. They are available as multi-bore tubes for use as RTD resistor temperature sensors and resister thermometers (RTD = Resistance Temperature Device).
