Mechanical test furnace

chambergascontrolled atmosphere

This furnace system was developed to investigate the hot modulus of rupture of new refractory materials. The furance has a maximum temperature of 1600°C. The gas tight design allows different gas atmospheres to be used. The oxygen partial pressure is monitored online through an oxygen sensor. A walking beam system is installed so that 6 samples can be introduced simultaneously. The transport of the samples is semi-automatic. A sample size of 25 x 25 x 150 mm can be tested according to the three-point-bending method. All relevant process and experimental data are registered by the software supplied.
