|
| Attention Notes |
Performance degradation (i.e. furnace cannot reach the maximum temperature of 1500°C or it is drawing a higher than normal working current) can be expected due to the use of aged SiC heating elements. It is necessary to replace all the heating elements if the above symptoms were seen. Please order the replacements from the standard package list in below. |

Warnings
Click here to learn about the installation of a gas regulator.
|
- The tube furnaces with alumina tubes are designed for use under vacuum and low pressure < 0.02 MPa
-
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.
- The flow rate for gasses should be limited to < 200 SCCM ( or 200ml/min )
- Vacuum pressures may only be safely used up to 1500°C
