This more recent addition to our long-established range of metrology furnaces offers an alternative for those who prefer 3-Zone furnaces to heat pipe technology. The three zones create a controlled volume of constant temperature within the furnace in which High-Temperature Fixed Points such as Aluminum, Silver and Copper can be frozen and melted.
- Widest Operating Range
- Three Zone Control
- Long Plateau Length
This more recent addition to our long-established range of metrology furnaces offers an alternative for those who prefer 3-Zone furnaces to heat pipe technology. The three zones create a controlled volume of constant temperature within the furnace in which High-Temperature Fixed Points such as Aluminum, Silver and Copper can be frozen and melted. Because High-Temperature thermometers can be easily contaminated by metallic vapors, great care has been taken to eliminate the use of metals throughout the calibration volume. The cell holder is made of alumina.
A ceramic equalizing block is available comprising a closed ended tube, alumina tubes to house the sensors being compared, and alumina powder to act as an equalizing media.
This 3-Zone Furnace can be used for the realizations of Tin, Zinc, Aluminum, Silver, Gold and Copper points, or with an optional equalizing block used for annealing or comparison calibration.
