What is Sample Preparation
Tube furnace
Overview
Within this area, there are two furnace types; MTF and CTF models have an integral work tube, while the G range of furnaces is modular and requires a separate work tube.
Features
- Maximum operating temperatures of 1000°C and 1200°C
- Tube diameters range from 15 - 38mm
- Heated lengths from 130 - 400mm
- These models utilise a resistance wire heating element wound around a ceramic worktube, forming an integral part of the heating element to ensure excellent thermal uniformity
- Rapid heat up to operating temperature
- Can be adapted to allow a non-oxidising atmosphere or vacuum, by fitting an additional worktube and end seals
- The thermocouple is located in a protected position between the outside of the worktube and heating element, allowing the full worktube diameter to be used
- Normally built on the horizontal base pictured left, this furnace range can optionally be mounted vertically with a separate control box
- Applications in materials research include testing of novel materials under strict temperature and varying atmosphere conditions
- Applications in the electronics industry include testing electronic components and semiconductor materials under inert atmospheres or vacuum
- Applications in instrumentation include testing of temperature sensors such as thermocouples and PT100's, which may require enhanced thermal uniformity
- For enhanced thermal uniformity, three zone models are available
