The Versatility of Split Tube Furnaces in Laboratory Applications

In modern laboratories, the versatility and flexibility of the equipment is a key factor in ensuring the success of research and experiments.

As a leading manufacturer of split tube furnaces, Brother Furnace has launched a series of high-performance split tube furnaces, which not only have excellent heating performance but also incorporate a variety of advanced technologies and are widely used in higher education institutions, scientific research institutes, and industrial and mining enterprises.

In this article, we will delve into the versatility of Brother Furnace's split tube furnaces in laboratory applications. Hope it can be helpful to you.

Basic Features of Split Tube Furnace

Brother Furnace's split tube furnaces use high-purity quartz tubes or high-purity alumina tubes as the furnace tubes, with operating temperatures ranging from 300°C to 1600°C, providing customers with a wide variety of choices. Our products are designed to provide superior heating performance while maintaining ease of operation and safety. Key features include:

1. Separate Heating Unit

Split tube furnaces usually consist of independent heating units, allowing the user to adjust the temperature of each unit according to experimental needs. This design enables the furnace to achieve precise temperature control and a uniform heating effect.

2. High Temperature Tolerance

Tube furnaces are able to operate stably in high-temperature environments and are suitable for handling experimental needs at high temperatures. For example, the silicon molybdenum rod heating option up to 1600°C meets the needs of ultra-high temperature experiments.

3. Adjustable Duct

Split tube furnaces are equipped with adjustable heating ducts that allow customers to adjust the length and position of the ducts according to the needs of the experiment, thus adapting to samples of different sizes and shapes. The tube diameter of the split tube furnace ranges from 40mm to 120mm to meet the needs of various experimental scales.

4. Highly Efficient Heat Transfer

The tube furnace adopts advanced thermal insulation materials to ensure uniform temperature distribution inside the furnace, which improves the heating efficiency and reduces energy loss.

The furnace chamber is made of high-quality alumina polycrystalline fiber material with Japanese technology of vacuum adsorption molding, which has excellent heat preservation performance.

5. Intelligent Control System

The modern split tube furnace is equipped with an intelligent control system, which is capable of realizing 50-segment programmable automatic control, simplifying the operation process and improving the repeatability and reliability of the experiment. You can also operate and monitor through the high-definition touch screen.

Main Functions in Laboratory Applications

1. Material Synthesis and Processing

Brother Furnace's split tube furnace is widely used in materials science applications, such as synthesizing new materials and treating ceramics and metals. Their high-temperature stability and uniform heating properties make them ideal for these complex processes.

For example, in the synthesis of new ceramic materials, the split tube furnace provides precise temperature control, resulting in uniform sintering of the material and improved strength and stability.

2. Thermal Analysis Test

In thermal analysis tests, split tube furnaces provide precise temperature control for determining the thermal stability, melting point, and other thermal properties of materials. By using a split tube furnace, researchers can gradually heat materials and monitor their reactions at different temperatures to obtain detailed thermal property data.

3. Chemical Reactions

Many chemical reactions need to be carried out at high temperatures. The split tube furnace from Brother Furnace can provide a stable heating environment so that chemical reactions can be carried out smoothly under predetermined conditions, ensuring the integrity and accuracy of the reaction.

For example, in the study of catalysts, tube furnaces can provide precise temperature control, helping to study the activity and stability of catalysts.

4. Atmosphere Control

Split tube furnaces can be configured with different atmosphere environments, such as oxygen, nitrogen, or hydrogen, which are essential for some special experiments and processes. For example, in the reduction reaction of metals, the use of a hydrogen atmosphere can effectively remove metal oxides and obtain pure metal.

5. Sample Pre-treatment and Post-treatment

Brother Furnace's split tube furnaces are not only suitable for sample pre-treatment processes, such as drying and roasting but can also be used for sample post-treatment, such as annealing and removal of impurities.

This versatility greatly improves the efficiency of experiments and the quality of results. For example, in the annealing treatment of high-temperature materials, our furnaces can provide uniform heating, reduce internal stresses in the material, and improve material properties.
