Split Tube Furnace Single Zone

Split Tube Furnace Single Zone

A Split Tube Furnace, Single Zone, is a versatile thermal processing device used in laboratories and small-scale industrial applications. It features a horizontally split heating chamber with a single controlled heating zone, allowing precise temperature control up to high temperatures, typically over 1000°C. This furnace accommodates various sample sizes and types within its cylindrical chamber, facilitating uniform heating and controlled atmosphere environments for processes like annealing, sintering, and heat treatment of materials

Features :-

  • Split Design: The furnace is divided into two parts: a heated zone and a cooling zone. This design allows for uniform heating along the length of the tube while maintaining a lower temperature in the cooling zone to prevent overheating of the furnace casing.
  • Heating Element: Usually made of high-quality resistance wire such as Kanthal or Nichrome, the heating element ensures efficient and uniform heating of the tube. It is wound around a ceramic tube to provide insulation and protect the heating wire.
  • Temperature Control: Equipped with precise temperature control systems, typically using PID controllers or advanced programmable controllers, to maintain accurate temperature profiles.
