URTP-2200A Compact Ultrafast Joule Heating System with Vacuum Chamber
The URTP-2200A is engineered to rapidly heat small material samples to extremely high temperatures, reaching up to 2200°C within milliseconds. This capability is essential for applications requiring ultrafast thermal processing under controlled atmospheres such as vacuum or inert gas environments. The system’s compact design integrates a stainless steel vacuum chamber and a Joule heating element to enable precise and rapid temperature ramping.
The vacuum chamber measures 12 inches by 12 inches by 11 inches and includes a KF25 vacuum port for connection to an external vacuum pump (156L capacity pump required but not included). Heating is performed via a flat-plate carbon sheet heater capable of accommodating up to 3 mL of sample volume. Temperature is monitored and controlled by a digital infrared sensor and programmable controller, allowing accurate temperature profiles with ±3°C precision over a range from approximately 400°C to 2200°C.

Typical Applications
The URTP-2200A is suitable for rapid thermal processing tasks such as sintering, annealing, and material phase transformation studies requiring ultrafast heating under vacuum or inert atmospheres. It is ideal for research in materials science, thin film development, and advanced ceramics where precise temperature control and fast ramp rates are critical.
Configuration & Operating Notes
The system includes the vacuum chamber, carbon sheet heater, digital IR sensor, programmable controller, and NRTL-certified power supply. A 156L vacuum pump is required but must be sourced separately. For heating durations exceeding 60 seconds, a water cooling electrode is recommended and available as an optional accessory at additional cost. Users should ensure proper vacuum connections and follow safety protocols when operating at high temperatures and under vacuum conditions.
