Description and Specifications of High Temperature Tube Furnace

A High Temperature Tube Furnace is an electric heater to make and purifies chemicals. It has a long cylinder shape with heating coils wrapped around it. The coils heat up when electricity goes through them. There is a thermocouple inside to check the temperature. The thermocouple sends signals to control the heat so the temperature stays where it wants.

High Temperature Tube Furnace can have one heated section or several separate heated areas. This allows materials to be heated evenly all along the tube. Even heating and temperature control make it useful for many things involving heat. For example, it purifies or prepares chemicals by heating. It can also strengthen materials through heating by a process called annealing. Other uses are coating wires, drying coatings or films, and testing how materials age when heated. The cylinder cavity holds small samples for treatment. High Temperature Tube Furnace often use inert gases like argon or nitrogen inside. This protects reactive materials from unwanted reactions with oxygen during heating. The inert atmosphere gives more control over the chemical process.

Different designs suit different needs. Horizontal High Temperature Tube Furnace lay sideways. Vertical ones stand upright. Split furnaces open like a clamshell to access the tube. Rotary furnaces slowly rotate the tube while heating. Common tube materials are fused quartz, Pyrex, and ceramics that withstand high heat. Furnace tubes may also be metal like tungsten or molybdenum for heating corrosive stuff.

Temperatures can reach up to 1800 °C. Precise control and uniform heating make High Temperature Tube Furnace ideal for research and production. Fields using them include chemistry, pharmaceuticals, electronics, metallurgy, and more.
