Product overviewThese high-temperature furnaces are designed for combustion loss determination during annealing and for thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) in laboratory environments. The complete system comprises a high-temperature furnace (Tmax option 1600 °C or 1750 °C), a table frame with feedthroughs, a ceramic plunger with base plate for the furnace lining, and VCD software for synchronized recording of temperature profile and weight loss. Four scale options are available to match different maximum weights and measurement ranges (scales ordered separately).
Standard equipment- Use as defined in the operating instructions
- Tmax: 1600 °C or 1750 °C (model-dependent)
- Molybdenum disilicide (MoSi2) heating elements
- Double-shell ventilated housing made of textured stainless steel sheets
- Insulation materials not classified under EC Regulation No. 1272/2008 (no classified RCF)
- Adjustable air inlet and exhaust opening in the roof
- Type B thermocouple
- Delivery includes base, ceramic plunger with base plate and software package (VCD)
- Choice of 4 scales for different capacities and ranges (to be ordered separately)
- Process control and documentation for temperature and combustion loss via VCD software
Additional product notes / features- Example model: LHT 04/17 SW (Tmax 1750 °C) with integrated scale option for weight-reduction measurement during annealing
- Optional scale configurations to suit different sample masses and resolutions
- Optional heating element arrangements (SiC or alternatives) depending on model/configuration
- Graphical display of process curves supported by the software for analysis and documentation
