High Temperature Vertical Split Tube Furnace with PID Temperature Controller for 1 and 2 Inch Processing Tubes

Product Overview

This vertical split furnace represents a specialized thermal processing solution engineered for advanced material research, specifically tailored for applications requiring a vertical orientation. By utilizing a vertical configuration, this equipment facilitates unique experimental setups that leverage gravity-fed gas flow, specialized sample positioning, and chimney-effect thermal dynamics. This system is indispensable for laboratories focused on catalyst development, nanostructure synthesis, and the thermal treatment of delicate powders or films where horizontal orientation is insufficient.

The core value proposition of this unit lies in its split-cover design, which is purpose-built for rapid access and high throughput. Researchers can integrate various processing tubes—ranging from 1 to 2 inches in diameter—with ease, making it a highly versatile DIY platform for custom tubular reactor configurations. The equipment is designed to operate reliably under demanding laboratory conditions, providing consistent thermal environments for both short-term experiments and long-term continuous processing up to 1000°C.

Confidence in performance is guaranteed through a combination of high-purity alumina fibrous insulation and a robust double-layer steel structure. This unit provides the stability and precision required for the most rigorous industrial R&D processes, ensuring that material scientists can achieve repeatable results in the structural ordering and graphitization of advanced carbon materials and catalysts.

Key Features
