GSL1700X 1700°C Tube Furnace with 18″ Heated Zone and 60 or 80 mm OD Alumina Tube and Flange
The GSL1700X tube furnace is engineered for laboratory applications requiring precise high-temperature processing of material samples, including sintering under vacuum or controlled gas environments. Its design accommodates research workflows that demand stable temperature control up to 1700°C, enabling advanced material synthesis and testing.
This bench-top furnace incorporates an 18-inch (457 mm) heated zone with a constant temperature region of 6 inches (150 mm), providing uniform heat distribution. The furnace chamber includes a high-purity alumina refractory lining and a consumable alumina tube available in two outer diameters: 60 mm and 80 mm. The tube furnace supports vacuum and low-pressure gas atmospheres, with integrated sealing flanges and vacuum fittings for immediate use.

구성 및 작동 안내
The furnace includes a set of sealing flanges with double silicone O-rings, two stainless steel needle valves, and a dial vacuum gauge installed on the flanges for immediate vacuum or gas operation. Standard fittings are 1/4″ barbed hose connectors; optional Swagelok® tube fittings and KF25 adapters are available to enhance vacuum performance and gas supply control.
Vacuum operation is limited to pressures below 0.02 MPa absolute and temperatures up to 1500°C for safety. Gas flow rates should be kept below 200 ml/min to minimize thermal shock to the alumina tube. Installation of a gas pressure regulator to reduce output pressure to 3 PSI is recommended to prevent overpressurization.
Optional accessories include a PC control module for remote operation, digital vacuum gauges, flow meters, vacuum pump suites, and various tube fittings. The alumina tube is consumable and must be replaced as needed; spare tubes are available separately.
