Silicon carbide tubes are advanced technical ceramic components manufactured for use in extreme industrial environments. Produced using reaction bonded silicon carbide (RBSiC/SiSiC) or sintered silicon carbide (SSiC), these tubes offer superior mechanical, thermal, and chemical resistance far beyond conventional materials like metal, graphite, or alumina.

With exceptional hardness (Mohs 9), thermal conductivity, and chemical inertness, SiC tubes are widely used in applications such as thermocouple protection, furnace tubes, chemical fluid transport, and gas-solid reaction chambers.

Exceptional Wear Resistance

Inner ceramic layer (≥95% content) provides 30x better wear resistance than carbon steel pipes.

Corrosion Immunity

Corrosion-resistant composite layer enables use in acid, alkali, and salt environments.

High Bond Strength

Organic polymer matrix with inorganic ceramic reinforcement provides 14-16 MPa peeling strength (100x stronger than ordinary lining).

Wide Temperature Range

Continuous operation from 40°C to 200°C, with peak resistance up to 260°C.

Extended Service Life

Elbows show no significant wear after 1-2 years, outperforming thick-walled cast steel by nearly 10x.

Performance Comparison

Silicon carbide ceramic-lined pipes offer superior performance compared to traditional materials:

  • Carbon Steel Pipes 30x less wear resistance
  • Wear-Resistant Alloy Cast Steel 10x less wear resistance
  • Cast Stone Pipes Brittle, prone to cracking
  • Rubber-Lined Pipes Limited temperature resistance
