| System Structure |
- 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)
|
| Glove-Box |
- 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.

|
- 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
