• 
       •  The air-tight joint between the furnace chamber and glove box protects the sample from oxidation in the
           preparation, transferring processes.
•      •  Vertical loading of the material with a glove box above the furnace. An electromagnetic release mechanism
          can release the sample into the quenching chamber at the bottom.
•      •  Electric gate valve at the bottom of the tube can isolate the heating chamber from the quenching chamber
          and open for sample drop when quenching is needed.
•      •  Both Electromagnet sample release flange and the bottom gate valve are with water cooling jackets which
          help protect Viton sealing gaskets from over-heated.
  
  

Input Power

• 
       •  AC 208-240V Single Phase, 50/60 Hz
•      •  1.5 KW (for glove box); 4KW (for furnace)
  
  

• 
       •  Gas purification station is integrated to ensure a low O2 & H2O environment (<1ppm) in the glove box.
•      •  Case Material: Stainless steel 304 with 3 mm thickness
•      •  Chamber dimension: 1200 mm L x 740 mm W x 900 mm H
•      •  Openable front window panel (tempered glass, 8 mm thick)  for easy device loading

Electromagnet Release &
Quenching Media Tank

• 
       •  Electromagnet Auto-drop Mechanism for sample easy release under vacuum or atmosphere controlled
          environment.
•      •  Hinged plate with a hook & cable can hang the sample in the hot zone for heat treatment.
•      •  Hinged plate releases when the electromagnet is powered off. Then the sample falls into the quenching tank.
•      •  Rings attached to the top flange for hanging the quartz block to prevent heat dissipation.
•      •  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 which is airtight
•      •  Note: It is suggested to use oil (such as diffusion pump fluid) as quenching agent if quenching under vacuum.

Application Notes

• 
       •  In order to obtain accurate temperature inside the tube furnace, you shall calibrate temperature before use,
           please click here to learn how.
•      •  How to set up the ceramic tube and vacuum flange for MTI Tube furnace.
•      •  The tube furnaces with mullite tube are designed for use under vacuum and low pressure < 0.02 Mpa
  
•      •  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.
•      •  Vacuum limit definition for all mullite tube furnaces: * Vacuum pressures may only be safely used up to
          1400°C
