Lab furnaces can reach different maximum temperatures depending on their type and purpose.
How hot can a lab furnace get? 5 Key Temperature Ranges Explained
1. Standard Lab Furnaces
Standard lab furnaces typically have a maximum temperature range between 975°C and 1,700°C.
These furnaces are equipped with a PLC controller to regulate temperatures from 100°C up to their maximum temperature.
However, standard lab ovens do not maintain temperatures above 350°C.
2. High-Temperature Furnaces
High-temperature furnaces can reach even higher temperatures, ranging from 1400°C up to 1800°C.
They are designed with heating elements on both sides of the heating chamber to ensure good thermal uniformity.
These furnaces are commonly used for processes like sintering high-temperature materials, glass melting, and high-temperature testing of ceramics.
3. Dental Lab Furnaces
In dental laboratories, the most advanced furnaces can reach temperatures up to 1600°C.
These furnaces need to maintain a constant temperature balance throughout the entire cycle to avoid inconsistencies in dental work.
4. Heating Up to 1300°C
This range uses wire heating element technology and can heat up to 1300°C.
5. Heating Up to 1800°C
This range utilizes a molybdenum disilicide (MoSi2) heating element to reach temperatures of up to 1800°C.
The maximum temperature a lab furnace can reach depends on its design, purpose, and the specific heating elements used.
