What temperature?
Carbolite considers all products above 750 C which are
heated using radiant heat, (rather than convection), as
furnaces
The range of chamber furnaces is available up to a
maximum operating temperature of 1800 C
Continuous operation of a furnace at its maximum
temperature will reduce its life. Recommended maximum
continuous operating temperature is 100 C below the
maximum operating temperature
Furnaces are designed to operate at high temperatures.

Temperature control
All furnaces are supplied with accurate PID (proportional,
integral and derivative) single ramp to setpoint
controllers providing accurate control and minimal
temperature overshoot. Higher temperature furnaces
feature an 8-segment programmer as standard
Multi-segment and/or multi-program controllers are
available as an option on most models, please

Ashing Furnaces Selection Guide
One of the most common applications for laboratory furnaces is to heat combustible samples in order to analyse
the ash residue. As there is no single solution for all requirements, Carbolite offers a range of furnaces with
characteristics tailored to ashing and burn-off applications.
7KHUHDUHVHYHUDOLPSRUWDQWIDFWRUVWRFRQVLGHUZKLFKZLOOKHOSWRLGHQWLI\
the correct furnace for successful ashing:
Does the ashing process have to conform to a given test
method, eg ISO/ASTM or other published standard?
Does the ashing / burn-off process generate
aggressive fumes which could damage the furnace
or be hazardous?
Will the furnace provide an adequate airflow
