Options
| • The sample holder is not provided with the furnace. You may check the link below to order the sample holder separately. - • Optional Quartz Thermal Block is available upon request as the refractory block, which can
help achieve higher vacuum level and avoid potential contamination problems, please order Quartz Thermal Block. - • Optional 4 wires ( Pt ) feedthrough is available upon request for electrical properties
measurement at the high temperature at extra cost. Flat sample holder Crucible sample holder Quartz Thermal Block 4 wires feedthrough
|
Gas Inlet and Outlet
| • One gas purging inlet (1/4" hose adapter ) with a valve is on the left side of the furnace - • The inert gas can be introduced into the chamber via the inlet for purging purpose.
- • If a continuous gas flow is needed, refer to the additional gas inlet and thermocouple
probe below.
|
Water Cooling
| A water cooling jacket has been built inside the flange to protect the vacuum sealing assembly from melting at over 300°C. The inlet and outlet ports located on the left side of the furnace are used for connecting to a water chiller through two 12 mm Dia. polyurethane tubes (water chiller is sold separately). Please click the picture below left to order the water chiller.
|
Pressure Measurement / Monitoring
| • Mechanical Vacuum Gauge (included as standard accessory), which ranges from -0.1 to 0.15Mpa.- • Digital Pressure Gauge (optional) A gas-type independent(above 10mbar) digital vacuum
gauge with a wide range between 3.8x10-5 to 1125 Torr. Aside from greater measurement precision, this gauge reduces risks of chamber explosions caused by the incorrect reading of gas pressures due to gas-type dependency.
|
Vacuum Pressure
| • Vacuum Level is dependent on the vacuum pump used, connected pipe, interior refractory block's materials, etc. By using KFD25, stainless steel pipe, MTI's two-stage mechanical pump, and KF25 Ball valve, the furnace can achieve vacuum levels below:- º 10-2 torr via mechanical pump within 30 minutes without thermal Block
- º 10-6 torr via turbo-pump within 30 minutes with the Quartz Thermal Block at 900C
- • Optional:
- º Vacuum pump and pipe are not included, please click on BOLD or picture on the
optional part below to order. - º For achieving a higher vacuum level, a Turbomolecular Vacuum Pump Station is
necessary. ( click the bottom left picture to see detailed specs ) - º Spare sealing O-ring is available at extra cost ( click 2nd picture to left below )
- º KF25 Right-Angle Valve for quick connection to KF25 Bellows
(click the picture 3 below ).

Warning
Click here to learn the installation of a gas regulator
| • Tube furnaces with quartz tubes are designed for use under vacuum condition and at low- pressure levels < 0.2 bars ( 3 PSI ). - • Attention: A two-stage pressure regulator must be installed on the gas cylinder to limit the
pressure to below 3 PSI for safe operation. Click here to learn the installation of a gas regulator. - • Never heat the furnace while the gas release valve is closed and a positive pressure condition
exists within the furnace chamber. The pressure gauge must be used to closely monitor the chamber condition at all times during the heating process; please open the gas release valve immediately once the chamber pressure has reached over 3 PSI to prevent unforeseeable damages. - • A maximum temperature of 1000°C should be imposed on all quartz tube furnaces while
running a vacuum to ensure safe operation. Temperatures beyond 1000°C could cause the quartz tubes to undergo deformations under vacuum. - • The flow rate for gasses should be limited to < 200 SCCM for reducing thermal shocks to the
tube ( with the output pressure of the gas tank regulated to < 0.2 Bar or < 3 PSI ).
