GSL-1700X-S60HG tube furnace is designed for processing material under hydrogen gas up to 1700°C safely. The 60 mm OD processing tube is made of pure alumina, and one hydrogen gas detector is included for cutting off hydrogen gas via a built-in solenoid valve immediately upon detection of hydrogen gas leaks. The furnace can be used with all kinds of inert gasses and oxygen gas as well. The precision temperature controller provides up to 30 programmable segments for the heating profile.  
SPECIFICATIONS
 Furnace Structure
  • Double layer steel casing with air cooling to keep furnace surface temperature lower than 60°C. 
  • High purity fibrous alumina insulation for Max. energy saving.

  • Hydrogen detector and solenoid valve are included for safe operation.

  • The hydrogen gas furnace must be placed under a fume hood. Please click here to view the spec of MTI EQ-FH-36 fume hood.
Power

3 KW Max. ( 20A breaker required)

Voltage AC 208-240 Single Phase, 50/60 Hz
Max. Temperature 1700°C  ( < 1 hour )
Continuous Temperature 1600°C
Max. Heating Rate  <= 10°C /min (5C/min is recommended to avoid thermal-shocking the alumina tube)
Processing Tube
  • High purity Al2O3 ceramic tube, Purity > 95%
  • 51 mm (I.D) x 60 mm (O.D) x 800 mm length.
  • Two fibrous ceramic tube blocks are included for blocking heat radiation from inside the tube (Ceramic blocks must be fully inserted into the furnace chamber before heating).
  • Quartz blocks (optional) are ideal for a clean processing environment and higher vacuum efficiency.
  • For 60mm tubes, it is recommended that customers purchase two pairs of tube support to prevent the tube from bending under high temperature (please click on the last picture to order).

  • Over-temperature protection and alarm allow for operation without attendant(s).
  • +/- 1 ºC temperature accuracy.
  • RS485 Communications Port.
    • Advanced Temperature Control (Optional)
    • MTS02-Y Temperature control software kit (for YD518P series controllers) + 15" laptop package is available at the options bar. Click for detailed information about the MTS02-Y software kit. 
    • You may upgrade the temperature controller to the Eurotherm 3004 Temperature Controller which is compatible with LabVIEW. This package includes a Eurotherm 3004 programmer, and  a communication cable (RS485 - USB). (Optional - LabVIEW program and OPC service are not included)
Temperature Accuracy +/ - 1°C
Flanges and Gas Inlet
 
One pair stainless steel vacuum flange is installed on two ends of the tube which allow high vacuum up to 10E-5 torr and 5 PSI positive pressure.
  • One solenoid valve is installed on the left of the flange for Hydrogen gas inlet. It connects with hydrogen detector. Once hydrogen gas leak is detected (10% below hydrogen explode point), gas inlet valve will be shut down immediately.
  • One pressure gauge is installed on the end of the gas inlet. Hydrogen gas pressure must be controlled under 5 PSI, which can be adjusted by a stainless steel needle valve.

Gas-outlet & Flowmeter 
  • One 16 -160 ml/min floating meter is installed on gas-outlet end for adjusting the gas flow rate.
  • 1/4" Dia stainless steel tube is installed for burning hydrogen gas during gas flowing.
  • One long lighter is included in the standard package for igniting hydrogen gas manually.
  • One 6" long neck flexes safe lighter is included for lighting hydrogen gas.
Hydrogen Detector System
      (included)
  • One Honeywell UL Approved Sensepoint Gas Detector is Integrated into the system.
  • Working Temperature Range:   40ºF to +149ºF (-40ºC to +65ºC)
  • Alarm Point:                            H2 Limited Explosive Line 20% (20% LEL).  Once detecting H2 gas beyond the point, it will shut off the inlet valve to the H2 automatically.
