Laboratory Equipment & Services Information System by Centralized Laboratory Management Office (CeLMO)

MTI Corporation single zone tube furnace, model GSL-1100X-S is a high temperature vacuum tube furnace with a compact designed for heating samples up to 1100°C. The system comes with stainless steel vacuum flanges with valves, vacuum pressure gauge, and quartz tube. Besides that, the built-in precision temperature controller can program up to 30 segments of heating, dwelling, and cooling steps. The furnace can be set up in both vertical and horizontal positions to meet various applications such as sample heating, VLS, CVD, and quenching tests.

SYSTEM FEATURES • With energy saving high purity Al2O3 fibrous insulation liner • Equipped with stainless steel shells with adjustable height. • The furnace's vertical position is adjustable. • Multiple configurations for various thermal processing needs. • Max. temperature: 1100°C (< 1 hr). – Continuous working temperature: 1000°C. – Max. heating rate: 10°C /min. • Mechanical vacuum gauge: For pressure range of 0.1 to 0.15 Mpa. • PID automatic control and auto-tune function. • 30 programmable segments for precise thermal processing. • Temperature accuracy: +/- 1 °C. • K type thermocouple. Lab & safety rules: 1. Please contact PIC if you need any assistance. 2. Please make sure your melting point of your samples before running the system. Failure to do so will cause system damage. 3. Please write your name in the logbook. Failure to do so, will expel from booking system

A tube furnace can be used for annealing, brazing, calcination, degassing, sintering, soldering, sublimation, synthesis, and tempering. Besides that, it can be used for thermocouple calibration, testing of fuel cells, or in catalyst research.
