Vertical tube furnace
max. 1200°C | GVA series
Carbolite
- Tube diameters from 19.5 - 150mm id
- An integral worktube is not fitted and therefore a worktube must be ordered separately
- Existing customer worktubes can be used - however, the outer diameter & length must be specified at the time of ordering
- Heating is provided by resistance wire heating elements, semi-embedded in rigidised vacuum formed low thermal mass insulation modules, together with a separate ceramic worktube to ensure excellent thermal uniformity
- Rapid heat up to operating temperature
- Removable tube adapters allow rapid changes for different size worktubes
- Can be adapted to allow a non-oxidising atmosphere or vacuum, if required, by fitting an additional worktube and end seals
- This furnace range is supplied with a versatile stand kit, which allows the furnace to be mounted vertically on a stand or wall mounted, or bench mounted horizontally (shown left), all using the separate control box
- Applications in materials research include testing of novel materials under strict temperature & various atmosphere conditions
- Applications in the electronics industry include testing electronic components and semiconductor materials under inert atmospheres or vacuum
- Applications in instrumentation include testing of temperature sensors such as thermocouples and PT100's, which may require enhanced thermal uniformity
- For enhanced thermal uniformity, three zone models are available
