OTF1200XVTQ 1200°C Max Vertical Quenching Tube Furnace with 4″ Quartz Tube and Automated Electromagnetic Sample Release
The OTF1200XVTQ is engineered for advanced materials research requiring rapid quenching from elevated temperatures up to 1200°C. It facilitates the study of phase transitions and microstructural changes by enabling samples to be swiftly cooled from high temperature to ice water or oil. This vertical quenching furnace integrates a vacuum-sealed quartz tube with a liquid quenching tank, allowing controlled and reproducible thermal treatments.
The furnace features a double-layer steel construction with air cooling to maintain safe external temperatures. Its vertical and split design simplifies installation and maintenance. The included 4″ diameter quartz tube (101 mm outer diameter, 92 mm inner diameter, 1000 mm length) is connected via a gate valve to a quenching tank sized 400 x 400 x 200 mm, enabling samples to be dropped directly into the quenching medium. An automatic electromagnetic sample release flange safely releases the sample into the quenching tank by disengaging the electromagnet, eliminating cable wear associated with traditional cable-cut quenching methods.

Hinweise zur Konfiguration und zum Betrieb
The furnace includes the quartz tube, electromagnetic sample release flange, gate valve, and liquid quenching tank as standard. Optional accessories include a gas purification and recirculation system for moisture and oxygen removal, and a hermetic quenching tank for air-sensitive materials. Users must employ ice water or cooled oil as quenching media when operating under vacuum to ensure safety and effectiveness. Calibration of temperature sensors before use is recommended for accurate temperature control. The furnace is designed for safe unattended operation with built-in over-temperature protection and alarms.
