Benchtop Furnace

Table of contents

A benchtop furnace is a compact high-temperature furnace designed for laboratory use. Despite its small size, it can reach temperatures up to 1700°C or higher, making it suitable for material testing, heat treatment, sintering, and other applications. These furnaces typically feature robust construction, user-friendly control systems, and highly efficient thermal insulation.

Features of a Benchtop Furnace

Compact Design

Benchtop furnaces are designed with a compact footprint, making them ideal for laboratories with limited space. The smallest dimensions start at 100*100*100mm, while the largest can reach 1000*1000*1000mm.

High-Temperature Capability

They can achieve temperatures of 1200°C, 1400°C, or even 1700°C, meeting diverse experimental requirements.

Advanced Temperature Control

Equipped with PID controllers, these furnaces ensure precise temperature regulation and uniform heating with an accuracy of ±1°C.

Durable Materials

Typically constructed with stainless steel exteriors and ceramic fiber insulation, these furnaces are built for long-lasting performance.

Versatile Heating Elements

Available with various heating elements, including resistance wires, silicon molybdenum rods, and silicon carbide rods, to cater to different operational needs.

Common Applications of Benchtop Furnaces

Material Research

Used for thermal analysis of metals, ceramics, and composite materials.

Heat Treatment

Suitable for small-scale annealing, tempering, and quenching processes.

Sample Preparation

Pre-treats samples at high temperatures for chemical and physical analyses.

Sintering

They are applied in the sintering process of powdered materials to create dense and durable products.

Thermal Performance Testing

Used for testing material durability and performance under extreme temperatures.
