Split Tube Furnace

A split tube furnace is a multipurpose high-temperature heating device made for industrial and laboratory settings that require flexible thermal processing and easy access. Its split-body, hinged construction makes it possible for the furnace to open along its length, making it simple to insert and remove reaction tubes, thermocouples, or sample containers without interfering with vacuum systems or attached gas lines. It supports a variety of applications, such as heat treatment, gas-phase processes, and material synthesis in regulated atmospheres, and is perfect for both horizontal and vertical placement. It is a popular option for research and development because of its sophisticated temperature control, consistent heating, and adaptable designs.
