Tempering Pit Furnace
A tempering pit furnace is a type of industrial furnace used for heat treating metal parts and components. The process of tempering involves heating the metal to a high temperature and then cooling it down gradually to improve its strength, durability, and resistance to wear and tear.
Tempering pit furnaces are typically designed with a pit or chamber that is lined with insulating materials to prevent heat loss. The heating element is usually located at the bottom of the pit, and the metal parts are placed on a rack or tray above the heating element. The furnace is then sealed, and the heating process begins.
Function
The furnace is used for processes such as brazing, sintering, annealing, and heat treating of small to medium-sized parts.
Configuration
The cylindrical furnace holds metal pieces to be tempered. High-temperature refractory materials make up the chamber.
Features

Temperature Range
The furnace can achieve a temperature range depending on the process requirement.
Heating Rate
The heating rate of the furnace is adjustable, with options for ramp and soak programming.
Capacity
The furnace is available in various sizes, capacities or as per the requirement.
Heat Source
The furnace can be powered by electricity, gas, or oil-fired burners.
Power Requirement
The furnace requires electrical power to operate, and the power requirements vary depending on the size and capacity of the furnace.
Atmosphere
The furnace can use air, nitrogen, or argon for heat treatment.
