Furnace Structure
| • Double layer steel structure with air cooling to keep case temperature < 65oC.- • Vertical and splittable for easy installation.
- • The tube is sealed by a gate valve at the bottom flange. For quenching, open the gate valve and let the sample drop
directly into the liquid container by activating the electromagnetic sample release.
- • Operation control made easy with a newly designed electric gate valve.
- • Electromagnet sample release flange with water cooling is included.
|
Input Power
| • AC 208-240V Single Phase, 50/60 Hz- • 6 KW (40A Breaker)
|
Heating Temperature
| • 1500oC < 30 minutes- • 1400oC < continuous

Electromagnet Sample Release Flange & Quenching Media Tank
| • Fully automatic electromagnet sample release flange.- • Hinged plate hooks the cable, which pulls the sample.
- • Hinged plate drops when the electromagnet powers off. The sample and the cable fall into the quenching tank.
- • Rings are available for hanging the tube block with cables.
- • Improved top flange design allows easy sample reload without uninstalling all parts of the flange.
- • Bottom flange is connected with a 4" gate valve ( electrically operated ) via CF-100 adaptor.
- • The gate valve is connected with a quenching media container in size 400 L x400 W x 200 H mm.
- • Caution: You must use ice water or cooled oil as quenching agent if quenching under vacuum.

Application Notes
Click here to learn more about the installation of a gas regulator.
| - • The tube furnaces with mullite tube are designed for using under vacuum and low pressure < 0.02 Mpa / 0.2 Bar/ 3 PSI
- • Never use graphite crucible in the alumina tube.
- • 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. - • The flow rate for gasses should be limited to < 200 SCCM ( or 200ml/min )
- • Vacuum limit definition for all mullite tube furnaces: * Vacuum pressures may only be safely used up to 1300°C
