1500°C Split Tube Furnace with Flanges & 2"or 3" Alumina Tube - OTF1500X

• Double-layer steel casing with air cooling to keep furnace surface temperature lower than 60°C.
• High-purity fibrous alumina insulation for Max. Energy-saving.
• The special refractory coating on the inner increases furnace life.
• Two pairs of fibrous ceramic tube blocks are included to block heat radiation from inside the tube. (Ceramic blocks must be fully inserted into the furnace chamber before heating)
• Split cover with Interlock protection, cut the power if the door opens during the furnace heating process.

• Max. heating temperature: 1500°C (< 1hr) 
• Continuously heating temperature: 1400°C
• Heating rate 10°C /min Max. and cooling rate < 10 °C /min Max. for alumina tube 
• Note: if using alumina tube: Heating rate: 10°C /min Max. and cooling rate < 5 °C /min Max.
• The S-type thermal couple is included.
• 16 pcs SiC rod as heating elements (1500 grade) Pls click pic left to order spare or replacement
• Notice： Customers will install SiC rods on-site by themselves as instruction manual because they are easy to damage during shipping.
• Please notice, for the SIC heating element, it is a consumable part, and not covered by warranty, and usually, its service life is one year.

• Total heating zone length: 390mm
• Constant temperature zone: 150 mm (+/-2°C)
• 

• FA-YD518P-AG temperature controller included.
• Proportional–integral–derivative control (PID control) and auto-tune function
• 30 segments programmed with ramping, cooling, and dwelling steps
• Built-in over-temperature alarm and thermocouple failure alarm
• +/- 1 ºC temperature control accuracy
• Default DB9 / PC communication port

• One pair of stainless steel vacuum flange is included in the package.
• Two pairs of fibrous ceramic tube blocks are included to block heat radiation from the inside tube. (Ceramic blocks must be fully inserted into the furnace chamber before heating)
• For a fast & better vacuum, suggest you use stainless steel pipe ( click to order at extra cost ) 

• Standard mechanical vacuum gauge measures within a pressure range of -0.1 to 0.15Mpa.
  
• OPTIONAL: A gas-type independent (above 10 mbar) digital vacuum gauge with a wide range between 3.8x10^-5 to 1125 Torr. Aside from greater measurement precision, this gauge reduces the risks of chamber explosions caused by the incorrect reading of gas pressures due to gas-type dependency.

             

• Brand new laptop with Microsoft Windows 10 and Microsoft Office 2013 (30 days free trial)
• Labview-Based Temperature Control System (MTS01)enables the user to edit temperature profiles, manage heat-treatment recipes, and record and plot data for MTI furnaces.

• CE Certified
• NRTL(UL61010) or CSA certification is available at extra cost.

• Proper placement of tube blocks
• The furnace can grow 3C-SiC film on Si; please read the below article to see the procedure

Warning

Click here to learn more about the installation of a gas regulator.

• The tube furnaces with alumina tubes are designed for use under vacuum and low pressure <3 psig
• Attention: A pressure regulator must be installed on your input gas tank
• 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 damage.
• The flow rate for gasses should be limited to < 200 SCCM (or 200ml/min)
•  Vacuum pressures may only be safely used up to 1300°C
• The furnace is not rated for flammable gas. To use flammable gas, please contact MTI and review our hydrogen furnaces.

• Performance degradation (i.e. furnace cannot reach the maximum temperature of 1500°C) is normal due to aging of SiC heating elements. It is time to replace all the heating elements. Please order the replacements from the standard package list below.
