KSL-1100X-HV Compact Top-Loading Vertical Vacuum Tube Furnace with 2″ OD Quartz Tube, 1100°C Max, High Vacuum to 10⁻⁶ Torr
The KSL-1100X-HV is engineered for precise melting, annealing, and sintering of noble metals and advanced materials under high vacuum conditions. It is ideal for laboratory applications requiring controlled atmospheres and temperatures up to 1100°C, such as melting aluminum, gold, silver, copper, lithium, and magnesium. This compact vertical furnace supports vacuum levels down to 10⁻⁶ Torr when used with an appropriate turbopump, enabling contamination-free processing and superior material quality.
Operating on a top-loading design, the furnace features a 2-inch outer diameter quartz tube with a length of 263 mm, providing a controlled environment for samples. The quartz tube includes one flat-opened end and one closed end, sealed with a stainless steel 316 flange equipped with fluorocarbon (FKM) O-rings to maintain vacuum integrity. The flange integrates two ports (KF-16 and KF-40), with a KF-40 vacuum valve included as standard. Optional connections allow integration with vacuum gauges and turbopumps for enhanced vacuum control.

Typische Anwendungsbereiche
This vacuum tube furnace is suited for melting and processing noble metals and reactive metals under vacuum to prevent oxidation and contamination. It is commonly used in materials research labs for annealing, sintering, and melting of metals such as aluminum, gold, silver, copper, lithium, and magnesium. The precise temperature control and high vacuum environment support advanced material synthesis and testing workflows.
Hinweise zur Konfiguration und zum Betrieb
The furnace includes a KF-40 vacuum valve as standard. Optional accessories include connections for an Inficon Pirani gauge via the KF-16 port and a turbopump connection via the KF-40 port to achieve high vacuum levels. For operating temperatures above 800°C, a quartz thermal block is recommended to be mounted inside the processing tube (available at extra cost). Since May 20, a cooling fan has been added atop the furnace to improve flange cooling.
