Tube Furnace
A tube furnace is a type of high-temperature furnace that is designed to heat materials in a tube-shaped chamber. It is commonly used in materials science, chemistry, and other scientific fields for processes such as annealing, sintering, calcination etc.
The tube furnace consists of a cylindrical heating chamber made of refractory materials such as alumina, zirconia or silicon carbide. A heating element, typically made of resistance wire, is wrapped around the outside of the chamber, providing heat through radiation. A thermocouple is also inserted into the chamber to monitor and control the temperature.
