SKU: otf1500xvtq

Price: RFQ

Specifications

OTF-1500X-80-VTQ is a split vertical quenching tube furnace with an 80 mm OD alumina tube, which is designed for quenching samples from high temperatures ( Max. 1500°C) into an ice water bath or quenching oil to study material phase transitions and microstructures. It is also compatible with air-sensitive samples to heat and quenches in oxygen and the water-free environment with an MTI gas purification and circulation system (as shown in the main image). (Auto electromagnetic sample hanger is added since 07/21/2016)    (Manual gate valve was upgraded to an electric one since 6/26/2017 ) SPECIFICATIONS Furnace Structure Dual-layer steel furnace case with air cooling to keep case surface temperature < 65°C. Vertical and splittable for easy installation of tubes and flanges. Atmosphere-controlled heating treatment with an 80 mm OD alumina tube. Easy quenching control. Simply open the gate valve and let the sample drop directly into the quenching tank by releasing the electromagnetic sample hanger.

In order to obtain accurate temperature inside the tube furnace, you shall calibrate temperature before use, pls click here to learn how . How to set up the ceramic tube and vacuum flange for MTI Tube Furnace . The tube furnaces with alumina tubes are designed for use under vacuum or positive pressure < 0.02 Mpa / 0.2 Bar/ 3 PSI (relative pressure) 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 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 (>3 psi) exists within the furnace chamber. The flow rate of working gas should be limited to < 200 SCCM ( or < 200ml/min )
