About This Manual Introduction About This Manual Purpose The FGW900 High Temperature Furnace provides a high-temperature testing environment for material tests. These tests can include tension, compressing, or bending of ceramic, metal, and compound materials. This manual provides technical information about the high-temperature furnace in terms of its parts, working environment, technical parameters, temperature controller, installation, and operation.
Description Description The FGW900 High Temperature Furnace is primarily used with the MTS Series C45 Electronic Universal Testing Machine and the MTS Series C64 StaticHydraulic Universal Testing Machine. It provides the high temperature required for tension tests while providing a long-term, stable, high-temperature testing environment. The MTS Series FGW900 High furnace let you test materials and components within a range of temperatures, from 300~ 1100°C (572 ~ 2097°F).
Furnace Furnace The high-temperature furnace opening provides quick sample and fixture installation. The furnace has ports used for connecting thermocouples and hightemperature extensometers. The cavity of the furnace uses thermal insulation material of multicrystal mullite fiber, allowing operation at maximum temperature for extended periods of time. The heating body is made of electro thermal alloy wire which provides fast temperature rise, low heat loss, and long service life.
Operating condition requirements Operating condition requirements Only use the high temperature furnace under the following conditions.
Safety Safety Information Safety Stay clear of moving equipment/avoid crush points Stay clear of mechanical linkages, connecting cables, and hoses that move because you can get pinched, crushed, tangled, or dragged along with the equipment. High forces generated by the system can pinch, cut, or crush anything in the path of the equipment and cause serious injury. Stay clear of any potential crush points. Most test systems can produce sudden, high-force motion.
Hazard Placard Placement LABEL DESCRIPTION Do not start, operate, or service machine until you read and understand the operator’s manual. Failure to do so could result in serious injury. There are no customerserviceable parts on the MTS Criterion electromechanical frames. Burn hazard. Hot surface. Do not touch. Allow to cool before servicing. Hot surface hazard. Do not touch.
