Thermolyne F48010 Muffle Furnace Single Setpoint, 5.8 L, 240V

Thermolyne F48010 Muffle Furnace Single Setpoint, 5.8 L, 240V

The Thermolyne F48010 Muffle Furnace is a robust, high-performance unit designed for a variety of high-temperature laboratory applications. Engineered for durability and precision, it's an indispensable tool for ashing, ignition tests, gravimetric analysis, and volatile matter determinations. It is also widely used in the construction materials industry for testing soils, aggregates, and cement.

This benchtop furnace features a 5.8L (0.2 cubic foot) chamber and reaches a maximum temperature of 1200°C (2192°F). The single setpoint digital controller is intuitive to use: it displays the actual chamber temperature by default, and a simple push of a button reveals the setpoint temperature.

Superior Performance and Safety

The F48010 is built with premium components to ensure a long service life and reliable performance.

• Rapid Heating: Open-coil heating elements on two sides of the chamber allow for fast heat-up times and efficient operation.
• Energy Efficiency: Advanced thermal-efficient ceramic insulation not only contributes to faster heating but also reduces overall energy consumption.
• User Safety: For operator protection, a safety switch automatically cuts power to the heating elements when the door is opened. Additionally, thermocouple break protection prevents overheating in the event of a sensor failure.
• Longevity: A built-in vent port at the rear allows for the removal of moisture and contaminants, which extends the life of the heating elements and the furnace itself. The rear port can also be used to monitor chamber temperatures with an independent sensor.
