VACUUM OVEN
Specification
Vaccum oven :
A highly versatile compact oven with a large useful working area, it
can be operated at atmospheric or reduced pressure by using reduced
pressure, the oven enables heat sensitive materials to be dried at low
temperature. Alternatively, more stable samples may be dried more
rapidly at higher temperature, without fan circulation. This oven is
also particularly useful for controlled atmosphere heating (e.g. curing
of resins under nitrogen or reduced oxygen conditions) since the inner
chamber is sealed. It may also be suitable for solvcent removal work
providing that adequate exhaust & ventilation are provided for the
oven and room respectively.
Construction : The
external case is tough stoved epoxy based powder coated steel, to with
stand the most demanding working conditions. The vacuum chamber is made
of thick jointless 304 grade stainless steel sheet provided with one
shelf, which carries a mercury in glass thermometer which can be viewed
through the 150mm wide window by large area heaters strapped to its
outer surface. Glass fiber insulation maintains safe, low outer case
temperatures. The chamber is closed by a 6mm thick toughened glass plate
sealing on to a silicone rubber gasket. The door closures are screw
threaded catches which ensure an excellent vacuum tight sealing.Vacuum
controls : Reliable inlet & exhaust valve is fitted. These are
situated near the front corner of the oven for convenient connection to a
vacuum pump. Vapour trap or exhaust. A vacuum gauge is fitted showing
vacuum pulled from 0 to 760mm. Temperature control : Oven temperature is
controlled by capillary type thermostat form ambient to 250°C with in
+1°C
