Furnace
The high-temperature furnace opening provides quick sample and fixture
installation. The furnace has ports used for connecting thermocouples and high-
temperature extensometers.
The cavity of the furnace uses thermal insulation material of multicrystal mullite
fiber, allowing operation at maximum temperature for extended periods of time.
The heating body is made of electro thermal alloy wire which provides fast
temperature rise, low heat loss, and long service life.
The housing is made of stainless steel in a double layer structure, ensuring a
lower surface temperature.
Temperature controller
The high temperature furnace is monitored and controlled by the temperature
controller. The temperature controller has three high-precision Eurotherm
temperature control meters which control three heating zones. Each temperature
control meter receives the input from a thermocouple and outputs power
accordingly to its heating element. Solid-state relays are used to meet the
requirements of high-precision temperature control.
Bracket of high temperature furnace
The bracket for the furnace has an adjustable rotary bracket that allows you
toadjust the position of the furnace or easily remove it from the test space.
