Thermolyne FB1310M Muffle Furnace, Max Temp. 2012F, 1.3L 240V

Thermolyne FB1310M Benchtop Muffle Furnace: Precision and Durability for Critical Applications

The Thermolyne FB1310M Benchtop Muffle Furnace stands as a cornerstone for laboratories and industrial settings requiring precise and reliable high-temperature processing. Engineered for demanding applications, this compact furnace offers exceptional temperature control and robust construction, making it an indispensable tool for a variety of analytical and material testing procedures.

Unmatched Performance for Essential Tests: Designed for rigorous daily use, the FB1310M excels in critical tests such as ashing, ignition tests, gravimetric analyses, and volatile matter determinations. Its capabilities extend to construction materials, where it's vital for accurate testing of soils, aggregates, and cement samples. This furnace provides the consistent, high-temperature environment needed for obtaining reproducible and accurate results in these sensitive processes.

Advanced Features for Superior Control and Efficiency:

• Precise Temperature Control: A maximum operating temperature of 2012°F (1100°C) combined with a highly responsive digital control system ensures accurate temperature management. The dual-display provides immediate feedback on both actual chamber temperature and set-point, allowing for easy monitoring and adjustment.
• Rapid Heating and Energy Efficiency: Equipped with energy-saving ceramic fiber insulation, the furnace achieves desired temperatures quickly, significantly reducing heat-up times and overall energy consumption.
• Superior Temperature Uniformity: Heating elements strategically placed on the top and sides of the chamber ensure uniform heat distribution, which is crucial for consistent sample processing. While elements are not in the door or back, the central two-thirds of the chamber maintain excellent uniformity, and chamber sizing should be selected accordingly to optimize results.
• Compact Yet Capacious: Despite its space-saving benchtop design, the furnace boasts a 0.04ft³ (1.3L / 76in³) chamber capacity, accommodating various sample sizes for diverse applications.
• Rugged and Durable Construction: Built with top-quality, rugged components, the FB1310M is designed for an extended service life, minimizing downtime and ensuring long-term reliability even under continuous operation.

Designed with Safety and Convenience in Mind:

• Integrated Safety Features: User protection is paramount. A door safety switch automatically cuts power to the heating elements when the drop-down door is opened, preventing accidental exposure to high temperatures. Additionally, thermocouple break protection safeguards against unexpected temperature spikes or failures.
• Convenient Drop-Down Door: The furnace's door not only provides easy access to the chamber but also functions as a handy shelf for effortless loading and unloading of samples.
• External Monitoring Capability: A 0.38in (9.5mm) rear chamber port allows for independent temperature verification or the insertion of external sensors, offering added flexibility for specific experimental setups.

What's Included: Each Thermolyne FB1310M furnace comes complete with a single setpoint controller, a high-quality thermocouple for temperature sensing, a power cord, and a durable hearth plate to protect the bottom of the furnace chamber.

Enhance Your Workflow with Essential Accessories: For optimal safety and functionality, consider these valuable accessories:

• Crucible Tongs: Safely handle and transfer hot crucibles, beakers, and other labware into and out of the furnace.
• Porcelain Crucibles: Ideal for loss-on-ignition testing of cement, fly ash, and soils, available in 10, 30, or 45mL capacities to suit various sample sizes.
• Heat Resistant Gloves: Provide critical operator protection from high temperatures when interacting with items inside or around the furnace.
