OTF-1200X-PV-HVS High Vacuum Compact Tube Furnace with 1200°C Max Temperature, 8″ Heating Zone, and Integrated Turbo Vacuum System
The OTF-1200X-PV-HVS is engineered for laboratory applications requiring controlled high-temperature treatments under high vacuum conditions. It integrates a compact tube furnace capable of reaching temperatures up to 1200°C with a high-performance turbomolecular vacuum pump system. This combination allows precise thermal processing within a sealed quartz tube chamber while maintaining ultra-low pressures essential for sensitive material synthesis and heat treatments.
The heating chamber consists of a 60mm outer diameter quartz tube sealed with vacuum flanges equipped with gas inlet/outlet fittings, thermocouple feedthroughs, and a mechanical vacuum gauge. The turbopump, connected via a KF40 clamp, enables the system to achieve ultimate vacuum levels as low as 10^-6 torr at ambient temperature. Temperature control is managed by a PID programmable controller featuring auto-tuning and protection functions, supporting up to 30 programmable segments for ramping, dwelling, and cooling with ±1°C accuracy.
