Frequently Asked Questions About Muffle Furnaces
Below, we’ve answered a few common questions about muffle furnaces. Please contact us for additional information.
How does a laboratory muffle furnace work?
A laboratory muffle furnace encloses the sample or material within a refractory chamber, called the muffle. It then heats the chamber to the desired temperature using electric heating elements. The muffle ensures uniform heating while protecting the sample from direct contact with the heating elements.
What are the key features when choosing muffle furnaces?
When shopping for muffle furnaces, consider factors such as temperature range, heating rate, chamber size, temperature control accuracy, safety features, and programmability. These features ensure that the furnace meets your specific laboratory needs.
What safety features should I look for in a laboratory muffle furnace?
Safety is paramount in laboratory settings. Look for over-temperature protection, thermal insulation, safety interlocks, and digital displays for clear and accurate temperature monitoring. These features help ensure the safe operation of the furnace.
What is the temperature range of Sentro Tech’s muffle furnaces?
Sentro Tech muffle box furnaces are available in various temperature ranges, with some models capable of reaching temperatures exceeding 1700°C (3092°F). Your temperature range will depend on your laboratory’s applications and requirements.
