TENCAN TC-16MT 1600°C MoSi2 Vacuum Tube Furnace
Key Features and Advantages
Superior Heating Performance
The TC-16MT utilizes MoSi2 heating elements capable of reaching 1600°C maximum, with a continuous working temperature of 1500°C. The heating rate is precisely controlled up to 20°C/min, while the built-in ±1°C control accuracy guarantees reproducible results for even the most sensitive experiments.
Intelligent Programmable Control
At the heart of the furnace is a 30-segment programmable temperature controller, allowing operators to design complex heating profiles with multiple ramp, dwell, and cooling stages — all executed automatically. The digital interface provides real-time temperature monitoring for standardized experimental protocols.
️ Advanced Safety and Cooling Design
The TC-16MT features a double-layer air-cooled shell keeping the external surface below 50°C during full-power operation. Comprehensive protections include over-temperature automatic power cut-off and electrical leakage protection, ensuring operator safety and equipment longevity.
️ Versatile Atmosphere Control
The furnace supports vacuum operation (up to -0.1 MPa) and controlled atmosphere processing. 304 stainless steel double-sealed flanges provide reliable sealing for experiments under vacuum, inert gas, or reducing atmosphere conditions. An optional molecular pump system can achieve vacuum levels up to 7 * 10⁻⁴ Pa.
Premium Insulation
The furnace chamber uses high-quality alumina polycrystalline fiber insulation via advanced vacuum-forming technology, delivering exceptional thermal efficiency and reduced energy consumption. Adjustable flange supports at both ends reduce stress on the furnace tube, extending tube service life.
