• In order to obtain accurate temperature inside the tube furnace, you shall calibrate temperature before use, pls click here to learn how.

• How to set up the ceramic tube and vacuum flange for MTI Tube Furnace.

• The tube furnaces with alumina tubes are designed for use under vacuum or positive pressure < 0.02 Mpa / 0.2 Bar/ 3 PSI (relative pressure)

• Never use graphite crucible in the alumina tube.

• Attention: A two-stage pressure regulator must be installed on the gas cylinder to limit the pressure below 3 PSI for safe operation. Click here to learn the installation of a gas regulator.

• Never heat the furnace while the gas release valve is closed and a positive pressure condition (>3 psi) exists within the furnace chamber.

• The flow rate of working gas should be limited to < 200 SCCM ( or < 200ml/min )
