High Temperature Atmosphere Muffle Furnace Up to 1600°C

Overview for High Temperature Atmosphere Furnace

PA L8/17 is is a box type atmosphere furnace designed for material synthesis under inert gas atmosphere up to 1600 ºC with chamber capacity of 8 Liters (8″x8″x8″). The furnace structure was built in dual steel case, vacuum sealing type, which makes it could be working under Vacuum, Nitrogen and other inert gases atmosphere situation, and the chamber insulated with Energy-saving 1800 grade fibrous alumina insulation, heating elements are powerful MoSi2 rods, It is ideal for new materials sintering under both of inert gas or oxygen atmosphere.

Main Features

• Tmax 1700°C (in air)
• Dual steel structure, air tight chamber
• Multiple gas inlets and outlets with stainless steel ball valves and mechnical gauge.
• Positive pressure up to 0.03Mpa and vacuum up to – 0.09Mpa
• Water circulation device for furnace cooling (Optional)
• Powerful MoSi2 heaters heating from two sides ensure uniform temperature
• Precise PID controller with progrmmable 30 segments
• Long life type B thermocouple
• CE certified, standard

Safety Measures

• Built-in ammeter and dual voltmeters for easy monitoring and troubleshooting.
• Overheat protection shuts down the furnace if temperature is outside of acceptable range (refer to controller’s manual) or when the thermocouple is broken or malfunctions
• Power failure protection resumes furnace operation right after the point of failure when power is reestablished
• Microprocessor based self-tuning PID control provides optimum thermal process with minimal overshoot

Technical Specifications

Application Notes

• However, toxic or explosive gases that may generate from the sample during the heating are not recommended for use with this high temperature muffle furnace without necessary safety controls and supervision.
• Small cracks may appear on the surface of the refractory ceramics over extended use. This is a normal occurrence and the cracks may be repaired with alumina coating.
• Ultimate vacuum level for PA Controlled Atmosphere muffle furnace is around 90000 Pa with hose barb connections. Please keep in mind that our PA atmosphere furnaces are NOT designed to be vacuum furnaces, the vacuuming part is mainly for users to pre-vac the chamber, before putting in inert or other protective gases, if you have special request on vacuum level, please order our professional vacuum furnaces
