Carbolite 11/3 Standard Ashing Furnace, 3 Liters

Carbolite 11/3 Standard Ashing Furnace, 3 Liters

The AAF ashing furnace is a high-temperature muffle furnace designed to give the best ashing conditions to burn the sample, with a specified temperature range. For labs where ashing is mixed with other heat work, the AAF 12/18 gives you all the benefits of an ashing furnace but with a higher maximum temperature of 1200°C.

Powerful Elements with Graded Winding: Compensates for heat loss due to high airflow, maintains temperature throughout the chamber.

Ashing furnaces are specialized laboratory equipment designed to burn off organic material from samples through a controlled process of complete combustion. By heating samples in a furnace chamber to temperatures up to 1100°C and ensuring a steady supply of oxygen via a chamber air inlet and efficient air exchange system, these furnaces achieve ashing with precision. The result is a residue of inorganic ash which can then be analyzed to determine the ash content and elemental composition of the original material. This process is critical in industries such as pharmaceuticals and energy where ash content provides critical information on product quality and compliance. Ashing furnaces are designed to minimize the risk of damage or contamination during the ashing process with features like robust furnace chamber, optimized air inlets and advanced combustion controls. By providing a stable environment for the ashing process these furnaces give reliable results for a wide range of applications and sample types.

Ashing Furnaces

• Ashing furnaces are designed for the ashing process which involves heating a substance to leave noncombustible ash for elemental composition analysis. Ashing procedures are defined by international standards such as ISO, EN and ASTM to ensure compliance and precise methodology.

• The furnace provides a controlled heat environment for the ashing process to occur, to get accurate and reliable results.

• Ashing furnaces are used in laboratory environments for various applications including material analysis and quality control.

• Furnace design and configuration plays a crucial role in combustion and accurate results.

• Ashing furnaces can be used for various ashing processes including dry ashing, wet ashing and combustion ashing.

Advanced Techniques for Accurate Analysis

Advanced techniques like microwave ashing can be used for accurate analysis. These advanced ashing techniques are often used as a preliminary step before detailed elemental analysis to get precise determination of mineral and incombustible content. These techniques involves using microwave energy or combustion to heat the sample, resulting in rapid and efficient process. During the process the sample burns at high temperatures, converts organic material into ash and leaves behind incombustible residues for accurate analysis. Ignition is critical step in process to get complete oxidation and to get accurate loss on ignition (LOI) measurements. Advanced techniques can be used to analyze wide range of materials including organic and inorganic compounds. Advanced techniques can give accurate and reliable results with features like real-time data and alerts. Ashing furnaces are part of material analysis and quality control to get accurate and reliable results. Ashing involves heating a substance to leave noncombustible for elemental composition analysis. Ashing furnaces are designed for process with features like preheated air inlet. The furnace is designed to maintain controlled heat environment to get accurate and reliable results. Ashing furnaces are used in mining, pharmaceuticals and environmental testing industries.

Accessories and Options

To enhance the performance and safety of ashing furnaces, various accessories and options are available. Many ashing furnaces can be equipped with preheated system, which brings incoming air up to temperature before entering the chamber to promote efficient and reduce heat loss. For operator safety and convenience, options like sideways opening door or custom designed vertical rotational door keeps heat and fumes away from the user during sample loading and unloading. Advanced air intake and exhaust system is available to optimize air exchange, maintain consistent atmosphere inside the furnace and support complete combustion. Extra quartz-protected heating elements for extended service life, bottom protection with alumina plates to shield the chamber floor and dual-skin housing to keep external temperatures low and enhance stability can be added. Customizable controllers and protection features can also be added to tailor the ashing furnaces to specific operational needs and safety requirements.

Safety Features and Compliance

Safety is top priority in ashing furnaces. These furnaces have multiple safety features to ensure safe operation and compliance to international standards. Protection prevents the furnace from exceeding safe operating, immediate power shutoff when door is opened to prevent burns or injury. Adjustable alarm settings to set specific temperature threshold for additional safety. Ashing furnaces meet international standards like ISO, EN and ASTM for best practices in ashing. Furnaces are designed to operate at low external temperature to prevent burns or injury in the lab.
