Ashing Materials to Evaluate their Organic Content with the Muffle Furnace

The production process of a commodity requires a lot of materials in the initial stages for the completion of the instrument. Since most of the products are exposed to the environment, the scope of deterioration due to extremely hot temperatures increases. For example, the batteries of an electrical appliance might get burnt or swollen under extremely hot temperatures due to poor quality material or inculcation of inorganic substances for the creation of the tool.

The inorganic body structure can cause huge jeopardies and can hamper further equipment by burning. For example, resistance wires that are used in big power plants or near flammable fluids or products can cause huge fires if constructed with inorganic material. To assess the quality of these materials used in the construction of crucial tools, it becomes mandatory for manufacturers to perform rigorous testing and then only utilize them in the final product.

The Presto Group has come up with an outstanding lab testing instrument called the muffle furnace for evaluating the ash content that is generated when the specimen is burnt at a certain temperature without coming in contact with the heaters of the instrument.

The instrument is used by manufacturers of pharma, textile, rubber, electronics, automotive, and aeronautics industries to evaluate the organic standards of materials being utilized in the final products. These industries also use the muffle furnace for giving a heat treatment to materials in order to attain maximum and pinpoint accuracy of the test being conducted.

Another reason for the wide usage of the lab testing equipment designed by Presto is the ergonomic body language and ease of testing that it offers. Testing various materials with this equipment becomes a lot easier and quicker due to its seamless build.

Working Module of the Muffle Furnace

The muffle furnace has an extremely simple working mechanism that delivers perfect test results without any hassle as it streamlines the testing process due to the top-notch manufacturing by the muffle furnace manufacturer.

•       The muffle furnace is equipped with a testing chamber called the muffle where the operator can simply place the specimen in the crucifix and then place the crucifix inside the specimen.

•       The instrument is equipped with high-end SSR-based heaters. These heaters elevate the temperature inside the muffle or the testing chamber and the temperature rises to a level of 900 degrees Celsius, burning the specimen into ashes.

•       The operator can adjust the temperature of the SSR-based heaters inside the muffle. The heat generated inside the muffle remains intact and does not leak due to the incorporation of glass wool insulation that sores the heat and prevents it from expanding out of the boundaries of the muffle.
•       The instrument is also equipped with a German-made fan that is designed with utmost aerodynamic engineering, allowing the heat from the heaters to be uniformly distributed across the specimen.

•       The instrument is also equipped with a preset timer that can be adjusted by the operator, once the preset timer is achieved, the operator can simply unlock the door of the instrument by disengaging the lock mechanism.
•       The operator must use a tong to take the crucifix with the ash content of the specimen out as it is made up of ceramic and can be extremely hot due to the extremely high temperatures inside the muffle.

•       The operator can now simply weigh the ash content and determine the organic standards of the content by comparing it with the previously calculated weight.

The operator can restrict the test midway if the requirement of the operator is to provide heat treatment to the specimen or to assess the chemical properties of the sample.

The weighing of ash content of the sample marks the completion of the muffle test and allows the operator to analyze the difference and enhance the quality by making a better choice.

It is vital to take a look at the specifications provided by the muffle furnace manufacturer and make sure that they align with the sample you want to test.  

Muffle Furnace Specifications

•       The body of the instrument is designed with stainless steel to avoid rusting & corrosion and make the instrument a timeless device for manufacturing.
•       The inner body of the instrument is made with high-grade ceramic as well as glass wool to restrict the heat from flowing out.
•       The door of the instrument is also equipped with an engaging lock mechanism along with HFK brick insulation to ensure that there are no leakages from the minimal openings as well.
•       The heating element in the heaters of the instrument is constructed by the muffle furnace manufacturer with Kanthal A1 wires to maximize the heating levels and achieve higher & elevated temperatures inside the testing chamber within no time.
•       The temperature of the instrument can rise up to 900 degrees Celsius which burns the specimen completely without letting the specimen touch any heaters.
•       The instrument is also offered with indicators that determine overheating along with test completion due to the association with the preset timer that allows the specimen to cut off the supply when the testing time is achieved.
•       The digital display at the control panel indicates the top-notch heating of the instrument for the designated time. The two-way display can determine both temperatures and test timings, making it an extremely easy job for the operators to attain perfect test results.

These are all the necessary muffle furnace specifications as mentioned by the manufacturers of the instruments.
