This furnace is now obsolete. The nearest replacement model is the TF1 12/60/450.
Carbolite MTF 12/38/400 small tube furnace 1200°C, 400 mm heated length, inbuilt tube 38 mm internal diameter.
Carbolite Gero MTF 12/38/400 is a horizontal Miniature Tube Furnace (MTF), with a maximum temperature of 1200 °C, and a continuous operating temperature of 1100 °C. Heat-up time is 25 minutes. Uniform length is 130 mm plus or minus 5°c.
The integral wire-wound work tube has an internal diameter of 38mm. Maximum power consumption is 1500 watts.
Common MTF range features
- Inbuilt tube.
- Supplied with a Carbolite Gero 301 controller, with one ramp to set the temperature.
- Delayed start/process timer functionality.
- Furnaces can have accessories installed, such as a work tube, end seals, and a gas inlet to provide a non-oxidising atmosphere or a vacuum.
- Designed for maximum operator comfort so the full diameter of the work tube can be used, the thermocouple does not get in the way as it is external to the work tube & heating element.
- The furnace range can be mounted vertically using an L stand with the controller in a separate control box.
MTF 12/38/400 standard supplied, Horizontal configuration mounted on the control module.
Used widely in industry, such as testing novel materials, testing electronics/semiconductors under inert atmospheres or vacuum, and testing temperature sensors such as thermocouples and PT100s, which may require enhanced thermal uniformity, three-zone models are used.
Options
- Over-temperature protection is used if the furnace has expensive contents or is left unattended for long periods.
- Insulation plugs & radiation shields to increase uniformity and combat heat loss.
- A range of eight to twenty segment programmable digital controllers and data loggers is available with RS-232 and RS-485 communication options.
