SP7TC 7KW Induction Heating System with Temperature Control, 80mm OD Quartz Tube, Up to 1900ºC for Melting and Sintering
The SP7TC system is engineered for laboratory-scale melting, sintering, and melt infiltration of metallic alloys with melting points below 1900ºC. It is particularly suited for processes requiring controlled atmospheres such as vacuum or protective gas environments. The system integrates a 7KW induction heater with a quartz tube chamber and graphite crucible assembly, enabling efficient and uniform heating of samples.
This compact system includes a temperature controller with automatic PID tuning and programmable segments for precise heating and cooling profiles. The quartz tube chamber, with an 80 mm outer diameter, is equipped with stainless steel flanges, valves, and vacuum ports to maintain controlled atmospheres. A recirculating water chiller and vacuum pump are included to support stable operation and atmosphere control.

대표적인 적용 분야
Ideal for melting and sintering new metallic alloys, melt infiltration processes, and research requiring controlled atmosphere heating up to 1900ºC. Suitable for vacuum or protective gas environments with precise temperature control.
구성 및 작동 안내
The system includes a complete refractory assembly made of alumina for crucible support and insulation. The quartz tube is sealed with stainless steel flanges featuring thermocouple feedthroughs and vacuum ports. A pressure regulator must be installed on the input gas tank to maintain output pressure below 3 PSI with continuous gas flow. Gas flow rates should be limited to under 200 ml/min. Overpressure or heating without gas flow can damage the system. Optional pressure sensors are available for enhanced vacuum monitoring. Higher vacuum levels can be achieved with an optional turbopump.
