KSL-1500X-W Bench-Top Programmable Muffle Furnace with Quartz Observation Window
The KSL-1500X-W is engineered for laboratory applications requiring precise high-temperature processing combined with real-time sample observation. Its 6″ x 6″ x 6″ (3.6 L) chamber accommodates materials research and thermal treatments where monitoring sample behavior during heating is critical. The integrated 60 mm diameter quartz window with a sliding shutter enables direct visual or infrared camera observation without interrupting the heating cycle.
This furnace supports continuous operation at temperatures up to 1450°C, with the capability to reach 1500°C for short durations under one hour. Temperature control is managed by a high-precision silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) and a 30-segment programmable PID controller, delivering ±1°C accuracy. The robust construction includes double-layer steel housing with air cooling to maintain external surface temperatures below 60°C, high-purity alumina fiber insulation for energy efficiency, and durable silicon carbide heating elements.
