More detailed information about furnaces on furnace considerations page.

The furnace should be a tubular type of >40 mm inner diameter. It should preferentially be vertically mounted, but horizontal operation is possible. A total furnace length of up to 80 cm is possible, a typical length may be around 50 cm, but many applications and types of uses may actually benefit from even shorter furnaces, down to, say, 35 cm total length, or 25-30 cm heated length. An ordinary tubular furnace should have up to 100 cm of space underneath to enable the cell to be inserted into the furnace from below. Typically, the furnace is mounted on a wall or put on a shelf or long-legged table with a hole in the table-top. As an alternative, a hinged (split) furnace, or a furnace mounted on a lift has the advantage that the cell may remain still during sample remounting etc.
