Rectangular Muffle Furnace
Specification
A rectangular muffle furnace is a specialized heating device commonly used in laboratories and industrial settings for various heat treatment processes, such as annealing, sintering, and ashing. Its distinct rectangular chamber is designed to enclose a high-temperature environment with controlled heating and cooling capabilities. The furnace typically features a refractory-lined chamber, often made of materials like ceramic or brick, to withstand extreme temperatures. An electric heating element within the furnace generates heat, while a muffle, or heat-resistant container, isolates the sample from direct contact with the heating element, preventing contamination. These furnaces are crucial for applications requiring precise temperature control and uniform heating, making them indispensable tools in materials science, metallurgy, and analytical chemistry.
