What is the Difference Between Compact Split Tube Furnace and Muffle Furnace?

Compact split tube furnace is an experimental equipment that has passed CE certification and is widely used in universities, scientific research, medicine and other fields. The maximum temperature of the compact split tube furnace can reach 1200°C. The instrument is equipped with precision vacuum test instruments, vacuum pumps and OMEGA temperature measuring instruments. Armored thermocouples can be extended into the furnace tube to measure the actual temperature of the sintered sample. The heating tube of the compact split tube furnace can be sealed at both ends, or it can be connected to a gas pipe to facilitate the passage of inert gas or reactive gas. This design makes compact split tube furnace popular with customers in experimental scenarios where the atmosphere needs to be controlled. The muffle furnace is also a common high-temperature heating equipment, but the muffle furnace is a closed box with a heating chamber inside, and the sample can be directly placed in the chamber for heating.

The difference between compact split tube furnace and muffle furnace：

1. Purpose: compact split tube furnace is mainly used in scenarios where precise control of experimental conditions is required, and because compact split tube furnace can pass into specific gases, it is suitable for experiments that need to be carried out in an inert gas or reactive gas environment. The muffle furnace is mainly used for conventional high-temperature treatment experiments. Because the heating cavity of the muffle furnace is large and can process multiple samples at once, it is also widely used in industrial production.

2. Heating method: compact split tube furnace indirectly heats the sample through a heating tube, which allows the heat to be evenly distributed and the temperature to be accurately controlled. The heating area of the sample placed in the tube is small, which is more suitable for experiments with small batches of samples. The Muffle furnace directly heats the cavity. Because the cavity has a large space and the sample is heated in the cavity, it is suitable for processing multiple samples at once, but the temperature uniformity is not as good as that of the compact split tube furnace.

3. Atmosphere control: compact split tube furnace has great advantages in precise temperature control and atmosphere management. The tube furnace can pass gas through the tube for inert gas annealing, oxidation or reduction processes. The muffle furnace can usually only be operated in an air environment and can only be calcined by air. Although the muffle furnace can provide uniform heating to the sample, it lacks the ability to manage the air flow or create a special atmosphere.
