Platinum/Rhodium Alloy Tube (Pt90/Rh10)

Platinum/Rhodium Alloy Tube (Pt90/Rh10) combines the exceptional chemical inertness of platinum with the enhanced high-temperature strength and oxidation resistance imparted by rhodium. The tube form is particularly valuable in thermocouple protection, catalyst carrier structures, and high-purity gas handling in corrosive or extreme thermal environments. Widely used in aerospace, glass manufacturing, and chemical processing, Pt90/Rh10 tubes maintain structural integrity and resist embrittlement during prolonged high-heat exposure. Specific applications include protective sheathing for Type S and R thermocouples, platinum-based catalytic reactor components, and platinum-lined feed tubes in specialty glass production. In research, they are deployed in molten metal sampling systems, advanced fuel cell prototypes, and high-purity material synthesis setups. The alloy’s stability at temperatures exceeding 1600 °C makes it indispensable for precision processes where accuracy, purity, and durability are critical.
