A high temperature furnace

The Sample Environment Group

A high temperature furnace has been developed which operates directly from the mains voltage (240 V). It is designed to accommodate large samples, and use low quality cooling water. The furnace uses a tantalum heating element in the form of a high resistance wire held onto ceramic insulators. Temperatures up to ca. 2 000 °C are achievable but are limited by the present choice of ceramic.
