15L High Temperature Furnace – Model 932

15L High Temperature Furnace – Model 932

Brand Chemical Supplies provides the Scientific Model 932, a flagship industrial furnace specifically designed for the high-temperature requirements of metallurgical labs, mineral processing, and XRF analysis. With a maximum operating temperature of 1500°C, this unit is built for aggressive applications such as bead preparation and the fusion of refractory materials.

Technical Specifications

Key Features & Benefits

• Extreme Thermal Range: While standard muffle furnaces peak at 1200°C, the Model 932 is engineered to maintain stability at 1500°C, making it suitable for aggressive fluxes used in bead preparation for XRF Analysis.

• Precision Control System: Features an electronic P.I.D. temperature controller with simultaneous digital display of set and process values. Solid-state switching provides rapid response times and enhanced long-term reliability.

• Advanced Insulation: Utilizes high-efficiency ceramic fiber insulation coupled with a double-skin housing. This ensures the exterior panels remain safe to touch even during peak high-temperature cycles.

• Operator Safety (Up-and-Over Door): The door moves on a vertically counterbalanced parallel link system. This keeps the hot face of the door facing away from the operator at all times, preventing potential burns.

• Safety Interlocks: An automatic cutout switch deactivates the heating elements the moment the door is opened, ensuring total operator safety during sample retrieval.

• Integrated Validation Port: Includes a door-mounted temperature sampling port, allowing for thermocouple validation and calibration without the heat loss associated with opening the main chamber.

Primary Applications

• Mining & Geology: XRF bead preparation and the analysis of aggressive fluxes.

• Materials Science: Sintering of advanced ceramics and high-temperature alloy testing.

• Glass & Ceramics: Melting studies and precision firing of specialized glass compounds.

• Aerospace: Heat treatment and stress-testing of specialized high-heat components.

Installation & Maintenance

• Electrical: This unit pulls 6.5 kW$ and requires a dedicated Three-Phase connection installed by a qualified electrician.

• Application Advice: Given the specialized nature of 1500°C operation, we recommend advising our technical team of your specific chemical application prior to ordering to ensure maximum element longevity.

• Element Care: SiC elements are packed separately for safety during transit and require professional installation on-site.
