Key Features

• Six Independent Heating Channels: Each channel is equipped with its own dedicated temperature control system and gas delivery infrastructure, allowing for the simultaneous processing of six distinct samples at different temperatures and atmospheric conditions.
• Class 100 Cleanliness Certification: The high-purity alumina fiber chamber features an specialized alumina-coated surface designed to minimize dust generation and outgassing, ensuring an internal environment that meets US FED STD 209E Class 100 standards.
• Advanced Hydrogen Safety System: To prevent potential explosions, the equipment utilizes an inert gas circulation system within the insulation layer between the tube and the chamber. In the event of a tube failure, hydrogen is safely contained and diluted within this protective interlayer.
• Precision PID and PC Integration: Each heating module is managed by an intelligent 50-segment programmable controller, fully integrated with PC-based software for real-time monitoring, data logging, and complete automated control of heating, dwelling, and cooling cycles.
• High-Purity Alumina Fiber Chamber: The chamber is constructed from vacuum-formed ceramic fiber to provide superior thermal insulation and high heating efficiency while significantly extending the operational life of the internal components.
• Dual-Layer Air-Cooled Shell: The outer structure employs a dual-layer design with integrated forced-air cooling, ensuring that the external surfaces remain safe to touch even during sustained operation at maximum internal temperatures.
• Automated Gas and Pressure Management: The software-controlled constant pressure sintering mode automatically adjusts gas flow rates to maintain a stable, slightly positive pressure, ensuring consistent atmospheric density throughout the heat treatment process.
• Independent Water-Cooled Flanges: Six sets of 304 stainless steel flanges with integrated water-cooling ports protect the O-ring seals, ensuring long-term vacuum integrity and high-pressure stability during intensive high-temperature cycles.
• Customizable Tube Options: While high-purity quartz tubes are standard, the system supports nickel-based alloy or zirconium alloy tubes to accommodate specialized corrosive environments or specific temperature requirements up to 1200°C.
• Comprehensive Data Documentation: All experimental process data, including temperature curves, pressure levels, and vacuum status, are recorded and can be exported for thorough analysis and quality control verification.
