Thin-Walled Sample Tubes

Thin-Walled Sample Tubes


Thin-walled sample tubes are indispensable components in materials research, nuclear physics, and other high-tech fields. They serve as containers for sample materials and enable precise positioning in the neutron beam. Their design minimizes neutron beam interference while providing stability under extreme thermal, mechanical, and radiation conditions.

Manufactured from high-purity metals such as titanium, aluminum, copper, or stainless steel, these tubes offer low neutron absorption, high corrosion resistance, and structural stability. Wall thicknesses from 0.1 to 1 mm require ultra-precise manufacturing and innovative joining technologies.

Applications

Investigation of materials under high temperature, pressure, or radiation and characterization by neutron scattering.

Analysis of materials for nuclear reactors, fusion applications, and energy storage.

Investigation of biological samples, molecular structures and drug development.

Experiments requiring precise, repeatable conditions.

Key Manufacturing Features

  • Material Selection: Use of radiation- and corrosion-resistant materials with minimal neutron interaction.
  • Thin-Wall Design: Wall thicknesses ranging from 0.1 to 1 mm minimize neutron interaction and demand utmost precision.
  • Precision Manufacturing: Advanced technologies such as turning, milling, deep drawing, and electrochemical machining for tight tolerances.
  • Joining Technologies: Processes like vacuum brazing, laser or TIG welding ensure stable and tight joints without deformation.
  • Surface Finishing: Smooth interior and exterior surfaces reduce interaction with the neutron beam and ensure sample integrity.

Thin-walled sample tubes combine state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies, precise material selection, and strict quality assurance. These unique features make them essential components for demanding applications in science and industry. They offer maximum stability, minimal neutron interaction, and excellent leak tightness, even under extreme conditions.
