Our standalone muffle furnaces are the simplest and most economical way to perform thermal testing, treatment, and processing.
With max temperatures from 1,050°C to 1,900°C and chamber volumes from 3L to 36L, there’s a cost-effective yet uncompromising option for your laboratory.
Most models are compatible with ball type gas flow meters. A programmable controller is included with the MH and MS series, and available for the MG series. (Note that MGE furnaces do not support programmable controllers.)
