1100C 8-Zone High Pressure Super-Alloy Tube Furnace w/ Pressure Control System - OTF-1200X-VIII-80-GF

• Please view "Isotropic round-wire multifilament cuprate superconductor for the generation of magnetic fields above 30 TMat-2014-13-4-Larbalestier-Isotropic round-wire" published by NATURE MATERIAL 3887, 9 MARCH 2014, in which an MTI High-Pressure furnace was used.

OTF-1200X-HP-VIII-80-GF is a high-pressure tube furnace with eight heating zones and a pressure control system. The processing tube is made of Ni-based superalloy (50 mm ID x 2000mm L) which can withstand high pressure (oxygen or inert gases) under 1100°C max. Its pressure control system can maintain a stable pressure during the heating process which is critical for processing Fe-based superconductive material, or new generation oxide ceramics.

SPECIFICATIONS

Temperature Control	Touch screen temperature controller is built in a control station which provides individual controls over the eight heating zones Each channel is with PID auto-tuning, up to 30 segments programmable Built-in overheating & thermocouple failure protection. +/- 1 ºC temperature accuracy.
Thermocouple	Omega 3mm OD K Type with high-temperature (220°C) connector Total 8 TCs, one for each zone
Process Vessel	The pressure vessel is made of Nickel-based superalloy GH747 (Click to download GH747 nickel-based alloy datasheet) Vessel size: OD 85 x  ID 50 x  Length 2000 (mm)  Optional: torque wrench is available here to avoid over-tighten the flange bolts.  Warning: Never put a sample inside the tube directly without crucible or isolated foil to avoid reaction to the tube.
Working Pressure	20 Mpa max. at  <800°C 13 Mpa max. at <900°C 6   Mpa max. at <1000°C 4   Mpa max. at <1100°C Never heat up above 1200°C
Working Gases	Inert gas and oxygen No hydrogen or any flammable gas
Flange and  Fitting	Two CF type flanges are weld with female 1/4"NPT fitting to connect the high-pressure tube 2 pcs Copper o-rings are included  ( spare copper O-ring is available as consumable )
Gas Flow & Pressure Control System	Gas flow and pressure control system is built in a heavy-duty mobile table under the furnace and safety frame  Two pressure sensors and digital displays are installed to monitor the pressure for gas inlet and furnace tube One high-pressure mass flow controller is installed at the gas outlet to control the gas flow rate with max. 10Mpa working pressure and 500 SCCM flow rate  A pressure relief valve is installed, which will release gas when the pressure reaches the setting point for safety.
Compliance & Warranty	CE certified NRTL or CSA certification is available upon request at the extra cost. One year limited warranty for lifetime support
Safety Notes	Ni-based Superalloy ( Waspaloy or equivalent) is a reliable processing tube, which has excellent ductility and tensile property so only creep deformation happens under overpressure before a cracking. Please see pics left to see Ni-based Super-alloy ( Waspaloy or equivalent) processing tube under overpressure test Attention: For the use of flammable, toxic, or corrosive gases, you must contact the MTI engineering group for the consultation to know all the prerequisites and precautionary measures.
