1. Core customization parameters
Furnace size and structure
Select furnace tubes with appropriate diameters (e.g. 40mm -100mm) and lengths (e.g. 300mm -1000mm) based on the sample volume to ensure uniform heating.
Supports various structures such as horizontal, vertical, and openable, adapting to laboratory space and operating habits.

temperature control
Temperature range: Conventional 1200 ℃ -1700 ℃, some models can reach 1800 ℃.
Temperature control accuracy: ± 1 ℃ (PID intelligent temperature control system), supports multi-stage programmed temperature rise and real-time curve display.
Temperature zone division: Single temperature zone, dual temperature zone, triple temperature zone, and multi temperature zone independent temperature control to meet complex process requirements.

atmosphere control
Gas type: Supports nitrogen, argon, hydrogen, oxygen, etc., compatible with reducing/oxidizing/inert environments.
Gas path design: dual inlet and dual outlet, flow meter and mass flow controller (MFC) can be optionally selected to ensure gas purity and stability.
Vacuum degree: Optional mechanical pump+molecular pump vacuum system, maximum vacuum degree ≤ 10 ⁻ ³ Pa.

Heating elements and materials
Resistance wire: High purity iron chromium aluminum or nickel chromium alloy, with long service life and oxidation resistance.
Furnace tube materials: quartz (transparent observation), corundum (high temperature resistance), stainless steel (corrosion resistance), selected according to experimental requirements.
Insulation layer: Composite alumina fiber, high thermal efficiency, reducing energy consumption by 30%.

2. Function extension options
Rapid cooling system
Water cooling jacket or air cooling device can shorten the cooling time to one-third of the conventional time and improve experimental efficiency.

Tilt and rotation function
Tilt angle: adjustable from 0 ° to 90 °, facilitating uniform heating or gas exchange of liquid/powder samples.
Rotation speed: 0-10rpm, suitable for processes such as crystal growth and thin film deposition.

intelligence control system
Supports remote monitoring and data export on PC, with over temperature alarm, leakage protection, and power failure self recovery functions.
Optional touch screen interface, supporting switching between Chinese and English, intuitive operation.

Customized attachments
Sample holder: made of quartz/corundum material, suitable for samples of different shapes.
Thermocouple for temperature measurement: B-type/S-type optional, with an accuracy of ± 1 ℃.
Observation window: High temperature resistant quartz glass, allowing real-time observation of the experimental process.

3. Application Fields and Cases
material synthesis
Preparation of nanomaterials and thin films by chemical vapor deposition (CVD).
Case: A university customized a three temperature zone vertical tube furnace to achieve gradient temperature control and successfully synthesized graphene.

Heat treatment process
Metal annealing, ceramic sintering, glass melting.
Case: A certain enterprise customized a 1400 ℃ horizontal tube furnace for batch processing of metal alloys, resulting in a 20% increase in hardness.

New energy research and development
Preparation of positive and negative electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries and research on fuel cell catalysts.
Case: A research institute customized a vacuum atmosphere tube furnace, optimized the performance of electrode materials, and extended the cycle life by 50%.

4. Purchase suggestions
Clarify experimental requirements
Determine core parameters such as temperature range, atmosphere type, and sample size to avoid over customization or insufficient functionality.

Choose a reliable supplier
Prioritize selecting manufacturers with ISO certification and over 10 years of industry experience to ensure equipment quality and after-sales service.

Validate customized solutions
It is best to choose a manufacturer so that the required configuration can be customized and the details can be confirmed to meet the experimental requirements.
