High Temperature Furnace

The furnace has a high quality rigid stainless steel outer case with a polished finish. Rigidity is most important to prevent the insulation cracking in service and to allow high temperature extensometers to be mounted directly on the furnace case

A control system based upon a Eurotherm 2408 digital temperature controller, providing 4-segment programmability, a single type 'K' thermocouple and all connecting cables. This is all housed in a standard 19" desktop console.

The three zone furnace is provided with the additional heating tiles and control capability to allow much improved thermal uniformity over the specimen gauge length.
