Carbolite has over 50 years of experience in the design and manufacture of electric laboratory and industrial furnaces, ovens & incubators. If you require further assistance on this Carbolite's worktubes, insulation plugs and gas tight seals please e-mail Carbolite sales@carbolite-usa.com or telephone 800-543-6208.

 

Optional Accessories

  • A wide range of optional accessories include:
  • wall mounting brackets
  • 'L' stand allowing vertical and horizontal operation
  • selection of worktubes including: impervious aluminous porcelain (IAP), mullite, recrystallised alumina (RCA), metallic (APM), sillimanite and silica.
  • spares kit
  • chart recorders
  • ceramic insulation plugs
  • radiation shields
  • calibration certificates
  • work tube seals for vacuum/controlled atmosphere applications
  • overtemperature protection
  • probe thermocouple for calibration and accurate measurement of workpiece temperature
  • separate control boxes
  • timeswitch
  • process timers
  • gas safety systems
  • gas flowmeters
  • gas safety systems
  • furnace tables with heat resistance surfaces
 
  • Some tube furnaces have an intregral ceramic worktube, others require one to be added to operate
  • All tube furnaces require an additional ceramic or inconel worktube to allow the use of a gas atmosphere
  • Various worktubes are available to suit different applications
  • Sillimanite - porous, good thermal shock resistance, maximum temperature 1500°C
  • Impervious aluminous porcelain (IAP) - impervious, maximum temperature 1400°C
  • Mullite - impervious and resistant to flux, sulphurous & carbonaceous atmospheres, maximum temperature 1500°C
  • Recrystallised alumina (RCA) - impervious and highly resistant to chemical attack (99.7% Al2o3), maximum temperature 1800°C
  • Advanced powder metallurgy (APM) - impervious FeCrAl alloy tube, not susceptible to thermal shock, but unsuitable for use inside (MTF & CTF) wire wound tube furnaces, maximum temperature 1300°C
