What is the diameter of a furnace tube? 4 Key Factors to Consider

The diameter of a furnace tube can vary significantly depending on the specific model and customization options.

Kintek's standard tube furnaces offer a range of diameters, with the smallest having a work tube outer diameter of 32mm and the largest reaching 200mm.

Custom diameters are also available upon request.

4 Key Factors to Consider

What is the diameter of a furnace tube? 4 Key Factors to Consider

1. Influence on Furnace Performance

The diameter of the furnace tube is a critical specification as it influences the furnace's performance.

A larger diameter tube can accommodate larger samples or multiple samples simultaneously.

This can be beneficial for certain industrial or research applications.

Conversely, a smaller diameter tube may be more suitable for precise temperature control and smaller-scale experiments.

2. Material Choice

The choice of material for the furnace tube also impacts its performance and suitability for specific applications.

Quartz tubes are commonly used for their high-temperature capabilities and optical properties.

They are ideal for processes like crystal growth.

However, quartz is brittle and can be prone to thermal shock.

For more robust applications, materials like alumina or silicon carbide may be preferred.

3. Flexibility for Different Needs

The range of diameters offered by Kintek, from 32mm to 200mm, provides flexibility for different research and industrial needs.

This range ensures optimal performance and heat transfer efficiency.

4. Customization Options

Kintek offers the option for custom sizes to meet specific requirements.

This ensures that you can find the perfect furnace tube for your unique experimental needs.
