GSL-1700X-80CVD High-Temperature Steam Corrosion and Thermal Shock Cycle Test Furnace
The GSL-1700X-80CVD is engineered to conduct rigorous steam corrosion and thermal shock cycle tests on materials requiring exposure to extremely high temperatures. It supports continuous operation at temperatures up to 1600°C and can briefly reach 1650°C for up to 30 minutes, making it suitable for evaluating material durability and performance under harsh thermal and steam environments.
This furnace integrates three main components: a water vapor generator, a heating furnace, and a sample delivery mechanism. The system allows for programmable thermal cycling with adjustable parameters such as temperature, duration, and number of cycles, controlled via included PC software. This facilitates precise simulation of thermal shock conditions and steam corrosion processes.
Wichtigste Merkmale
- Steam intake constructed from 3mm outer diameter platinum-rhodium alloy tubing for high corrosion resistance.
- Sample supported by three alumina/silicon carbide tubes with B-type thermocouple for accurate temperature measurement.
- Alumina crucible and corundum tube splicing design prevents vapor leakage and cracking.
- Digital temperature controller with 30 programmable segments and built-in PID auto-tuning for precise thermal cycling.
- Overtemperature protection and alarms enable unattended operation with ±1°C accuracy (upgradeable to ±0.1°C with Eurotherm controller).
- Heating elements are silicon molybdenum rods capable of delivering up to 9 kW power.
- Customizable steam vapor evaporation and gas flow available as optional upgrades.
