1200°C Bottom-loading Vacuum Furnace (8.6"IDX7.6"H) with Rapid Cooling -VBF-1200X-E8

Features

• Double-layer steel casing with air cooling keeps furnace surface < 60°C
• Water-cooled vacuum flange for better vacuum seal and longer service life
• 8.5" ID Quartz chamber works under both vacuum and gas flow.
• Motor-driven bottom loading for large sample loading at ease.
• The electric sliding door is built to block thermal radiation when heated sample loading down
• Inert gas blow system is installed to quench heated samples faster
• Two precision temperature controllers are included: one for furnace temperature and another for a monitoring temperature change of the sample stage

Cooling Chamber 

• CE Certified
• NRTL / CSA Certification is available upon request at the extra cost

• Quartz tube furnace is designed for using under vacuum and low pressure < 0.2 bars / 3 psi / 0.02 MPa
• Attention: A two-stage pressure regulator must be installed on the gas cylinder to limit the pressure to below 3 PSI for safe operation. Click here to learn the installation of a gas regulator.
•  Vacuum pressures in the furnace shall be used below 1000°C under vacuum processing
• The furnace can be used for brazing of two flat samples via top dead weight under vacuum at <1000°C
