Carbolite Gero Vacuum Tube Furnace

Instrument Overview:

The instrument is intended to be used for the processing or testing of materials at high temperatures, such as annealing. The material can be tested under vacuum or in an inert gas atmosphere. The heating is controlled through the 3016 programable temperature controller that uses Proportional Integral Derivative algorithms to adjust the heating power and control the temperature within the product.

Applications:

• For the processing and preparation of solid material samples
• Under an environment of vacuum or the following gas options
• Air
• Nitrogen
• Argon
• 95% Nitrogen / 5% Hydrogen
• 98% Argon / 2% Hydrogen
• Carbon dioxide
• Helium
