Tube
furnaces enable a closely controlled, heated environment to be created for
small scale test-work. The work-tube may be
oriented horizontally, vertically or be fully adjustable to any
angle. Work-tubes range in size from less than 25mm to over 150mm diameter
and may be made from a number of ceramic materials, depending on the
requirements.
Maximum
operating temperatures can be as low as 200°C or as high as 1800°C(3272°F).
For some
test-work, tube furnaces have one, two, three or more heated and controlled
zones.
For a
controlled atmosphere within the worktube, tube-end caps and an atmosphere
gas control system is added. |
T°: from 200°C
up to 1800°C
size from less than 25mm to over 150mm diameter |

Special purpose furnaces for research
take many forms.
The three-zone
vertical tube furnace, built for fuel energy research, allows each zone to
be programmed and controlled to temperatures of up to 1600°C.
