Specifications

Intended Use

The Type 6000 Basic Automatic, Automatic and Program-

mable furnaces are general laboratory and heat treating

furnaces. For optimum element life, observe the following

temperature ranges. These furnace models are intended

for applications requiring temperatures from 100°C

(212°F) to 1093°C (2000°F) for continuous use, or tem-

peratures from 100°C (212°F) to 1200°C (2192°F) for in-

termittent use.

(-60) Coal Ashing models continuous temperature range

is from 100°C (212°F) to 975°C (1787°F). Continuous use

is operating the furnace for more than 3 hours.

The unit consists of: 1) a heating chamber; 2) a basic au-

tomatic control without over temperature protection OR an

automatic proportioning-digital set, digital read control

with over temperature protection; 3) a door interlock relay

for user safety.

The Type 6000 Programmable furnace is designed to

control a programmed temperature profile. The profile is

in the format of ramps and dwell segments. The first

ramp, RAMP 1, starts at the initial measured furnace tem-

perature. This ramp is positive going at a programmed

rate until the programmed level is reached. The set point

will stay at this level for a period determined by the set-

ting of DWELL 1. Additional positive or negative going

ramps are now initiated starting at the level at the end of

DWELL 1. When the second ramp reaches the second

programmed level, the set point stays at that level for the

duration of the segment. Depending upon the model

ordered, additional ramp and dwell segments may be

added. See specific model number for total number of

program segments.

The Type 6000 Programmable Ashing Furnace (-60) is

designed to operate like the programmable type 6000 de-

scribed above plus the ability to inject and control an inert

atmosphere. The Type 6000 Automatic furnace is

designed as a single set point automatic temperature con-

trolled furnace able to reach and maintain one tempera-

ture value

ed usage.
