Product Name
Platinum single crystal, 9-10mm (0.35-0.39in) dia, 50mm (2.0in) long, random orientation, nominal
Application
The purpose of the Platinum single crystal, with a diameter of 9-10mm and a length of 50mm, is to leverage its unique physical and chemical properties for advanced applications. This form of platinum, characterized by its random orientation and nominal dimensions, is ideal for use in scientific and industrial environments. Its role extends across various fields, such as in the manufacture of laboratory apparatus, including thermocouples and platinum resistance thermometers, where its reliability and stability under extreme conditions are essential. The crystal's resistance to corrosion makes it suitable for acid-proof containers and electrodes, which are pivotal in chemical processes. Additionally, the single crystal is utilized as a catalyst in the production of crucial industrial chemicals like acetic and sulfuric acids, and it aids in reducing automotive emissions. The platinum's ability to withstand high temperatures and its insolubility in water make it invaluable for applications requiring durability and precision.
