PC Control
|
- A brand new laptop with pre-installed & tested software included for immediate use.(Laptop is included since 9/10/15)
- Pre-installed MTS-02 Control Software is included for controlling and displaying temperature and pressure by PC at a remote location.
- Please don't try to buy a furnace without a computer because of liability issues
|
Pressure Sensor and Display |
- Precision high-pressure sensor (Pressure measurement range: 0~25Mpa) installed on the pressure vessel.
- The pressure sensor is installed in the flange. The pressure will be displayed in the pressure controller in the front panel of the furnace.
- The alarm system is built into the pressure controller, which allows the user to set up the high and low limit points of pressure. When the measuring pressure exceeds the limit point, the alarm strobe and whistle will be activated for the warning.
- When the pressure reaches the alarm set point (Max.15Mpa), the pressure inside the vessel will be released via the solenoid valve installed on the flange. For Max. pressure >15 Mpa, please shut off the manual needle valve
- Optional: Adjustable High-Pressure Relief Valve 1000 - 10,000 PSI (7 - 70 Mpa), click the picture below right to order.

Safety Notes
The picture shows a Ni-based Superalloy ( Waspaloy or equivalent) processing tube under an overpressure test. |
- Ni-based Super-alloy ( Waspaloy or equivalent) is a reliable processing tube that can be used under high temperatures and high pressure. It has excellent ductility and tensile properties so only creep deformation happens under an overpressure destruction test followed by a crack formed (usually at the hot zone at the center of the tube) to release the pressure. Brittle fracture won’t happen in the overpressure destruction test which means no tube explosion will happen under
- Attention: For the use of flammable, toxic or corrosive gasses, you must contact MTI engineering group for a consultation to know all the prerequisites and precautionary measures.
- Attention: A two-stage pressure regulator must be installed on the gas cylinder to limit the pressure. Click here to learn about the installation of a gas regulator.
-
Do not over-tightening the flange screws as this may cause permanent damage to the flange or screws. Please refer to the instructions about proper torque for installing CF flange bolts. We recommend you use a torque wrench to tighten the screws with the flange.
- Warning： Never put a sample inside the tube directly without a crucible or isolated foil to avoid sample reaction with tube alloy.
