Why Choose This Furnace

Practical horizontal chamber

The horizontal layout provides straightforward access for loading samples used in routine heat-treatment trials and metallurgical investigations.

Configuration matched to the work

Chamber size, controller arrangement and electrical details can be reviewed against the sample dimensions, target temperature and laboratory utilities.

Suitable for laboratories and teaching

The furnace supports industrial quality-control work, material development, research and practical heat-treatment demonstrations.

Key Technical Features

Operating Temperature

The furnace is rated for a maximum temperature of 1200 °C and continuous operation up to 1050 °C, subject to the selected configuration and operating conditions.

Heating Element

Kanthal A1 elements provide the heat input required for routine laboratory heat-treatment cycles.

Temperature Control

A PID controller and thermocouple-based sensing system regulate the furnace temperature during heating and soaking.

Thermal Insulation

Ceramic-wool insulation reduces heat loss and supports efficient laboratory operation.

Horizontal Muffle

The horizontal chamber gives convenient access for samples used in material studies, process trials and teaching work.

Configurable Construction

Chamber dimensions and selected controls can be matched to the sample size, batch requirement and laboratory utilities.

Muffle Size Options

Select for the Sample Envelope

Choose a chamber that accommodates the largest sample with sufficient clearance for loading and temperature circulation.

Allow for Batch Requirements

Where several specimens are heated together, the chamber should provide practical spacing without unnecessarily increasing furnace volume.

Confirm Temperature and Utilities

Final selection should consider the operating temperature, cycle duration, electrical supply and available laboratory space.

Optional Features & Accessories

Alternate Muffle Sizes

Alternative chamber sizes are available to suit longer samples, larger specimen envelopes or different batch quantities.

Temperature Controller Options

Controller options can be reviewed where the laboratory requires a particular operating interface or control arrangement.

Spare Heating Element

A replacement heating element can be included with the initial supply to support maintenance planning.

Spare Muffle

A replacement muffle can be supplied for laboratories that want to hold a critical furnace spare.

Sample Preparation Equipment

Equipment for cutting, mounting, grinding and polishing before metallurgical evaluation.
