Our silicon carbide rods are ideal for use in high-temperature kilns, chemical plants, and semiconductor processing. We offer SSiC (pressureless sintered silicon carbide) and RSiC (recrystallized SiC) formats depending on your application needs.

Key Features:

Extreme hardness and wear resistance
Stable at temperatures exceeding 1600°C
Corrosion resistant to acids, alkalis, and molten salts
Low thermal expansion for superior thermal shock resistance
Available in standard and customised silicon carbide designs

SiC Tubes – Precision Thermal Isolation & Corrosion Resistance

Silicon carbide tubes and SiC pipes are engineered for use in high-pressure reactors, gas furnaces, and thermal process equipment where other ceramics fail.

Options include:

Thermocouple protection tubes in SSiC, RSiC, and NbSiC
Standard and thin-walled silicon carbide pipes
High-purity reaction-sintered SiC (RbSiC or SiSiC) for excellent strength
Gas-tight tubes for vacuum and high-pressure operations

Product FAQ's

What is the difference between NBSIC, RBSIC, and SSIC?

NBSIC (Nitride Bonded SiC) offers excellent thermal shock resistance and is cost-effective for general furnace parts.
RBSIC (Reaction Bonded SiC) has higher strength and wear resistance, making it suitable for abrasive or corrosive applications like silicon carbide pipes.
SSIC (Sintered Silicon Carbide) is fully dense, offers maximum corrosion resistance, and is ideal for ultra-demanding environments.

How much does a silicon carbide tube cost?

The silicon carbide tube price depends on the size, wall thickness, type of SiC (NBSIC, RBSIC, SSIC), and any special machining needs. While typically higher priced than metal tubes, their longer life and performance make them more economical in the long run.

Can I use SiC tubes as thermocouple protection tubes?

Yes. Silicon carbide thermocouple protection tubes are a popular choice because they withstand rapid temperature changes, protect sensors from corrosive gases or slags, and offer long operational life even under extreme conditions.

Why should I choose SSIC tubes over RBSIC or NBSIC?

SSIC (Sintered Silicon Carbide) offers the highest purity and maximum chemical resistance, making it ideal for extremely aggressive chemical or ultra-high-temperature applications. However, it is typically more expensive than RBSIC and NBSIC.

Can SiC tubes be customized for specific furnace or reactor designs?

Absolutely. Many suppliers offer custom dimensions for SiC tubes, SiC rods, and silicon carbide pipes, as well as special end fittings or machined features to fit unique installations.

How long do silicon carbide tubes typically last?

Properly installed silicon carbide tubes and pipes can last several times longer than metallic or standard ceramic alternatives, especially in high-wear, high-temperature, or corrosive environments.
