Please email for lead time
Item Number: OTF1500XVTQ
Transported by LTL Freight (Truck)

Personalization

Upgrade to Eurotherm 3000 series
OTF-1500X-80-VTQ is a split vertical quenching tube furnace with an 80 mm OD alumina tube, which is designed for quenching samples from high temperatures ( Max. 1500°C) into an ice water bath or quenching oil to study material phase transitions and microstructures.
It is also compatible with air-sensitive samples to heat and quench in inert gas
(Auto electromagnetic sample hanger is added since 07/21/2016)    (The manual gate valve was upgraded to an electric one on 6/26/2017 )

SPECIFICATIONS

Furnace Structure
  • Dual-layer steel furnace case with air cooling to keep case surface temperature < 65°C.
  • Vertical and splittable for easy installation of tubes and flanges.
  • Atmosphere-controlled heating treatment with an 80 mm OD alumina tube.
  • Easy quenching control. Simply open the gate valve and let the sample drop directly into the quenching tank by releasing the electromagnetic sample hanger.
Electromagnet Sample Release for Quenching
         
  • A full automatic electromagnet sample release flange is included
  • A hinged plate hooks the cable, which pulls the sample.
  • The hinged plate drops when the electromagnet powers off. The sample and the cable fall into the quenching tank.
  • Rings are available for hanging the tube block with cables.
  • The bottom flange is connected with a 4" gate valve (manually operated ) via a CF-100 adaptor
  • The gate valve is connected with a quenching media container in size 400 x400 x 200 H ( mm )
  • Caution: You must use ice water or cooled oil as a quenching agent if quenching under a vacuum.
