Sapphire Capillary Tube Product Overview
Our single crystal sapphire capillary tubes are precision machined from high purity monocrystalline sapphire (Al₂O₃, 99.99% purity). Unlike polycrystalline ceramic or quartz tubing, single crystal sapphire offers zero porosity, superior gas tightness, extreme hardness and long service life under harsh operating environments.
This standard specification sapphire bore tube: Outer Diameter 5 mm, Inner Diameter 4 mm, Length 200 mm. We manufacture custom sapphire capillary tubes with custom OD, ID, length, edge chamfering and polished bore finish for instrumentation, fluid delivery and piston assemblies.
Standard Sapphire Capillary Tube OD5mm ID4mm
Monocrystalline sapphire bore tube, 99.99% purity, polished inner & outer surface for fluid delivery systems.
Precision Polished Inner Bore
Smooth polished bore reduces fluid friction, tight dimensional tolerance for high pressure fluid channel applications.
Sapphire Tube for Piston & Fluid Assemblies
Wear resistant sapphire tubing for sapphire piston rod, analytical and microfluidic instrument components.
Key Advantages (Why choose sapphire over quartz / ceramic?)
Solve common industry pain points: abrasion, corrosion, high temperature leakage, poor tolerance and short service life.
Mohs 9 Extreme Hardness & Wear Resistance
Superior scratch & wear resistance, far longer service life than quartz or polycrystalline ceramic tubes under cyclic friction.
Excellent Chemical & Thermal Stability
Resist strong acids, alkalis, solvents & plasma corrosion; wide operating temperature range and good thermal shock resistance.
Tight Tolerance & Non‑Porous Structure
Precision OD/ID tolerance, smooth polished inner bore, low fluid friction. Zero porosity for reliable gas/liquid sealing with no leakage.

Sapphire VS Quartz / Ceramic Capillary Comparison
Compare performance difference for high pressure, corrosive and high-temperature engineering selection.
| Performance Item | Single Crystal Sapphire Capillary | Quartz / Polycrystalline Ceramic Tube |
|---|---|---|
| Hardness & Wear Resistance | Mohs9, Excellent wear resistance, ultra long service life | Lower hardness, easy to wear under cyclic friction |
| Structure | Non‑porous single crystal, zero leakage risk | Ceramic has porosity; quartz prone to thermal cracking |
| Chemical Resistance | Resist strong acid, alkali, plasma & solvents | Limited resistance against strong corrosive media |
| High Pressure Performance | High mechanical strength under high pressure loading | Lower pressure limit, higher risk of rupture |
| Typical Application | Analytical instruments, microfluidics, semiconductor, high‑end piston assemblies | Low pressure, mild environment, low cost applications |

Frequently Asked Questions About Sapphire Capillary Tube
Can you customize sapphire capillary tubes with non-standard OD, ID or length?
Yes. We custom machine sapphire bore tubes according to your drawings, including special inner/outer diameter, length, chamfer and end face processing.
What is the lead time for samples and mass orders?
Sample order lead time: 7–14 working days. Mass production lead time depends on quantity and machining complexity. Contact us for exact schedule.
How does sapphire capillary compare to quartz or ceramic capillary?
Sapphire (Mohs9) is much harder, non-porous, higher pressure resistance and better chemical stability. It lasts far longer in high wear, corrosive and high-temperature environments than quartz and polycrystalline ceramic tubing.
Can I get samples for performance testing?
Yes, samples are available for evaluation. Please send your requirements for sample pricing and quotation.
