Cordierite Ceramic Tubes and Posts
Page Navigation
GENERAL OVERVIEW
IPS Ceramics offers a very wide range of cordierite ceramic tubes in differing shapes and sizes ranging from 25mm dia up to 200mm square. Cordierite’s excellent thermal properties, capable of withstanding the high temperatures of commercial pottery production and industrial processes, mean that these tubes are often used in many kiln and furnace applications.
Tubes are cut to length after firing to suit the customer’s kiln car design. Typical lengths range from 12.7mm to 700mm depending upon the diameter/size. Longer tubes with larger diameters are also available.
