1600°C Tube Furnace | DF55, DF80 & DF110
1600°C Tube Furnace
The DF55, DF80, and DF110 tube furnaces rated to 1600°C are suitable for ceramic, metal, electronic, and powder materials, including sintering, atmosphere heating, heat treatment, R&D testing, and quality inspection. They use a 16-step programmable controller for heating and cooling ramp control, with S.C.R. phase control, an R-type thermocouple, and imported S.I.C. heating rods. Select a model based on sample size, tube inner diameter, heated-zone length, target temperature, hold time, atmosphere requirements, and the available power supply.
1600°C Tube Furnace Temperature Range
Rated to 1600°C, with 1400°C as the common operating temperature, this furnace supports material sintering, heat treatment, atmosphere heating, and high-temperature testing.
16-Step Program Control
The 16-step programmable controller supports heating and cooling ramp profiles for experiments that require staged heating, holding, or controlled cooling.
Three Tube Size Options
Choose among DF55, DF80, and DF110 based on tube inner diameter, heated length, sample size, and atmosphere requirements for different sample loads and material testing workflows.
How to Choose a 1600°C Tube Furnace
When selecting a tube furnace, confirm sample size, tube inner diameter, heated-zone length, the number of samples per batch, target temperature, hold time, whether gas introduction or atmosphere control is required, ramp profiles, available power, and installation space. DF55 suits smaller tubes and samples; DF80 suits medium-sized samples and longer heated zones; DF110 suits larger tube diameters or larger samples. Final model selection should be based on the sample, test objective, and quality-control process.

Features: The 16-step programmable controller supports heating and cooling ramp profiles and is paired with S.C.R. phase control, an R-type thermocouple, and imported S.I.C. silicon carbide rods for material testing and heat treatment at tube-furnace temperatures up to 1600°C.
Options and customization: The heated-zone length or tube inner diameter can be evaluated for customization. Options may include independent three-zone temperature control, a gas flow meter and piping, and a timer. Confirm actual availability for the selected model and application.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How do I choose between DF55, DF80, and DF110?
Choose mainly by tube inner diameter, heated length, sample size, and batch capacity. DF55 has an inner diameter of φ55 and a length of 200 mm, and suits small samples; DF80 is φ80 x 300 mm and suits medium-sized samples; DF110 is φ110 x 400 mm and suits larger tube diameters or longer samples. Confirm the final choice against the sample and process.
Q2: What applications suit a 1600°C tube furnace?
Applications include ceramic sintering, metal heat treatment, powder processing, high-temperature testing of electronic materials, atmosphere heating, R&D experiments, and quality inspection. Confirm suitability based on the sample material, target temperature, atmosphere, and process time.
Q3: How does a tube furnace differ from a box-type high-temperature furnace?
A box-type furnace suits crucibles, trays, or multiple samples. A tube furnace suits material tests that require heating inside a tube, atmosphere control, insertion of a sample boat, or a specific tube diameter. It is commonly considered when gas introduction or control of the tube environment is required.
Q4: Can the tube diameter or heated-zone length be customized?
The heated-zone length or tube inner diameter can be evaluated for customization. Independent three-zone temperature control, a gas flow meter and piping, and a timer may also be evaluated. Confirm availability for the product model, application, and supplied configuration.
Q5: What information should I provide before requesting a quote?
Please provide the sample material, dimensions and weight; required tube inner diameter and heated-zone length; common and maximum temperatures; hold time; whether gas introduction is required; heating and cooling ramp requirements; available power; and installation space so we can assess a suitable model.
Specifications are based on currently available product information. Confirm the actual tube dimensions, heated-zone length, control method, power requirements, gas piping, and supplied configuration for the selected model and application.
