Tinius Olsen
Compact Split Furnace
The Tinius Olsen Compact Split furnace provides a means of performing tensile tests within a temperature range of up to 1200°C/2200°F or 1400°C/2500°F
The furnace is supported on a sliding rail located behind the columns of the testing machine. When the furnace is not in use, it can be pushed aside and clear of the operating area.
The furnace has a high quality rigid stainless steel outer case with a polished finish. Rigidity is important to prevent the insulation cracking in service and to allow high temperature extensometers to be mounted directly on the furnace case.
Additionally, the unit features high efficiency ceramic fiber insulation in support of accurate temperature management and safe working.
Thermal Uniformity
Temperature control is achieved by three type “N” 1.5mm diameter by 350mm long thermocouple sensors, sprung loaded to contact with the test specimen. And an additional type “N” thermocouple sensor for over temperature protection.
This thermocouple is located close to the heating elements within a thermowell. Closing of the furnace around the test specimen and load train is achieved using the toggle clamps on the side of the furnace.
