- 30 programmable segments for precise control of heating rate, cooling rate and dwell time.
- Built-in over-temperature alarm and protection allow for operation without an attendant.
- +/- 1 ºC temperature accuracy.
- RS485 Communication Port.
- MET certified 30 programmable segments for precise control of heating rate, cooling rate and dwell time.
- Built-in PID Auto-Tune function with overheating & broken thermocouple protection.
- Over-temperature protection and alarm allow for operation without attendant(s).
- +/- 1 ºC temperature accuracy.
- RS485 Communications Port.
- Advanced Temperature Control (Optional)
- MTS02-Y Temperature control software kit (for YD518P series controllers) + 15" laptop package is available at the options bar. Click for detailed information about the MTS02-Y software kit.
- You may upgrade the temperature controller to the Eurotherm 3004 Temperature Controller which is compatible with LabVIEW. This package includes a Eurotherm 3004 programmer, and a communication cable (RS485 - USB). (Optional - LabVIEW program and OPC service are not included)

Flanges and Gas Inlet
|
One pair stainless steel vacuum flange is installed on two ends of the tube which allow high vacuum up to 10E-5 torr and 5 PSI positive pressure.
- One solenoid valve is installed on the left of the flange for Hydrogen gas inlet. It connects with hydrogen detector. Once hydrogen gas leak is detected (10% below hydrogen explode point), gas inlet valve will be shut down immediately.
- One pressure gauge is installed on the end of the gas inlet. Hydrogen gas pressure must be controlled under 5 PSI, which can be adjusted by a stainless steel needle valve.

Gas-outlet & Flowmeter
|
-
One 16 -160 ml/min floating meter is installed on gas-outlet end for adjusting the gas flow rate.
-
1/4" Dia stainless steel tube is installed for burning hydrogen gas during gas flowing.
-
One long lighter is included in the standard package for igniting hydrogen gas manually.
-
One 6" long neck flexes safe lighter is included for lighting hydrogen gas.
|
Hydrogen Detector System
(included) |
- One Honeywell UL Approved Sensepoint Gas Detector is Integrated into the system.
- Working Temperature Range: 40ºF to +149ºF (-40ºC to +65ºC)
- Alarm Point: H2 Limited Explosive Line 20% (20% LEL). Once detecting H2 gas beyond the point, it will shut off the inlet valve to the H2 automatically.

Warning
click here to learn more about the installation of a gas regulator
|
- The tube furnaces with alumina tubes are designed for using under vacuum and low pressure less than 0.02 MPa/0.2 Bar/3 psi
-
attention: A two-stage pressure regulator must be installed on the gas cylinder to limit the pressure to below 3 PSI for safe operation. Click here to learn the installation of a gas regulator
- Never heat the furnace while the gas release valve is closed and a positive pressure condition exists within the furnace chamber. The pressure gauge must be used to closely monitor the chamber's condition at all times during the heating process; please open the gas release valve immediately once the chamber pressure has reached over 3PSI to prevent unforeseeable damages.
- The flow rate of gases should be limited less than 200 SCCM (or 200 mL/min).
- The furnace must be placed under the fume hood. Please click here to view spec of MTI EQ-FH-36 fume hood.
- For first-time buyers, safe operation training is required by MTI facility free of charge.
