Muffle Furnace

This benchtop ceramic muffle furnace uses a resistive wire-wound element for heating. The furnace comes in a box-shaped temperature chamber with a volume of either 4 liters or 6 liters.

The chamber opening is on the front side with a vertically opening door, which is designed to not expose its hot side to the user when opened. The sensor cable feedthrough is on the back side via a small diameter ceramic tube that extends few centimeters outside the muffle furnace. The muffle furnace can be used up to 800°C, and the temperature stability is better than ±0.5°C.

The muffle furnace is intended to be used with our bare sensors mounted in our sensor interface for high-temperature accessories, in combination with dedicated high-temperature sample holders. Kapton-insulated Hot Disk® or Hot Strip sensors can be used for chamber temperatures up to 300°C, while Mica-insulated Hot Disk® sensors must be used above 300°C.

This muffle furnace is automatically controlled via the Hot Disk Desktop App over RS232 communication. The Hot Disk Desktop App can be programmed to automatically perform a series of measurements with the Hot Disk instrument at multiple chamber temperatures.

Other Temperature Control Units (TCUs)

Hot Disk Continuous-Flow Cryostat (78 K to RT)
  • New
Continuous-Flow Cryostat
-195°C (78 K) to Room Temperature

This floor-standing cryostat uses a continuous flow of liquid nitrogen from a storage dewar for cooling, and a resistive wire element for heating. The system consists of four separated parts: a cylindrically shaped vacuum chamber, with a liquid nitrogen vessel on top, both integrated into a floor-stand; a temperature control unit; a turbomolecular pump; and a self-pressurized dewar.

Hot Disk Low to High Temperature Chamber Front
  • New
Low-to-High Temperature Chamber
-60°C to 300°C

This floor-standing TCU uses a two-stage refrigeration system with R404A and R23 refrigerants for cooling, and a fan with a heating element around it for heating. It comes with a box-shaped temperature chamber with a volume of 50 liters.

Bath Circulator Bath with Sample Holder
Bath Circulator
-40°C to 200°C

This floor-standing bath circulator uses a refrigeration system with EU-approved, Propene (A45) coolant medium for cooling, and an electrical heating element for heating. The bath circulator has a corrosion-resistant stainless steel reservoir of 12 liters for the bath volume. The box-shaped working area of this temperature vessel is 6 liters.

Small Tubular Furnace
Non-Split Tube Furnace
Room Temperature to 1000°C

This smaller benchtop horizontal tube furnace of non-split-type uses multiple zone metal coil elements for heating. The furnace has a removable tube-shaped and vacuum-sealed temperature chamber of inner diameter 50 mm.

Large Tubular Furnace
Split Tube Furnace
Room Temperature to 1000°C

This larger benchtop horizontal tube furnace of split-type uses multiple zone metal coil elements for heating. The furnace has a removable tube-shaped and vacuum-sealed temperature chamber of inner diameter 100 mm. The split-type design reduces tube cooling time.

PT100 Temperature Sensor
-80°C to 260°C

The PT100 temperature sensor is used optionally for registering the ambient temperature close to the sample and prior to a measurement with the Hot Disk® instrument. It is especially useful when using a TCU as the sample temperature might differ from that registered by the integrated TCU thermometer. Note that this PT100 temperature sensor is not used for automatic temperature control of our TCU units.
