OTF-1200X-S-VT-5 Vertical Quartz Tube Furnace with Vacuum-Sealed Stainless Steel Flanges
The OTF-1200X-S-VT-5 is engineered for laboratory applications requiring rapid and precise heating of samples within a controlled atmosphere. Its vertical quartz tube design supports vacuum or flowing gas environments, making it suitable for thermal treatments such as quenching and material modification. The furnace accommodates a 5-inch diameter fused quartz tube, providing a controlled environment for sensitive processes.
This model integrates stainless steel vacuum flanges equipped with vacuum gauges and valves, enabling secure sealing and monitoring of vacuum levels down to 10-5 Torr with appropriate pumps. The furnace’s temperature controller allows programming of up to 30 segments for heating, cooling, and dwell times, maintaining temperature stability within ±1°C. Its maximum temperature reaches 1200°C, with continuous operation up to 1100°C.

Typische Anwendungsbereiche
This vertical quartz tube furnace is well suited for quenching tests, thermal annealing, and material synthesis under vacuum or controlled gas atmospheres. It can be adapted for chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and physical vapor deposition (PVD) coating processes, as well as vapor phase polymerization and fluidized bed applications with additional modifications.
Hinweise zur Konfiguration und zum Betrieb
The furnace includes vacuum-sealed stainless steel flanges with integrated gauges and valves. Optional accessories such as smaller flanges with feedthrough ports, advanced vacuum fittings, digital vacuum gauges, and flow meters can be ordered separately to enhance functionality. For safe operation under vacuum and low-pressure conditions (below 0.2 bar), a two-stage pressure regulator must be installed on gas cylinders to limit pressure below 3 PSI. The quartz tube is rated for use up to 1000°C under vacuum pressures. The furnace casing features a double-layer steel structure with air cooling and high-purity alumina insulation for energy efficiency.
