Process Overview

Pressure furnaces are manufactured to meet customer-specific temperature and pressure atmosphere requirements. With ASME Section VIII, Div. I & II certification, full on-site design, welding, and fabrication of code-stamped pressure vessels is possible. These pressure furnaces are capable of combining temperatures up to 2500°C with partial pressure gas atmospheres into the millitorr range and positive pressures up to 150 bar (2175 psig). In-house capabilities include the fabrication of graphite hot zones using soft felt or rigid g-board insulation, as well as non-particulate metal hot zones utilizing stainless steel, nichrome, Inconel, molybdenum, or tungsten, as required for material compatibility.
