  • Page 9: Model 414 Annealing Furnace Introduction

    In 1990 the new temperature scale ITS-90 specified the use of S.P.R.T.’s up to the Silver point (961.78°C). At these temperatures quartz is very porous and in reducing atmospheres the S.P.R.T.’s can quickly become contaminated. The Isotech Annealing Furnace offers a safe solution for those who wish to anneal S.P.R.T.’s up to 1000°C. Page 9 of 16...

    0.5mK equivalent. Instructions in the Isotech 962 and 96178 thermometer handbooks explain how to handle and keep clean the thermometers. It is imperative that procedures are followed because contaminants can penetrate and pass through physically-intact quartz sheaths at temperatures above 800°C.
  • Page 14: Important Note

    Since the calibration of sensors at high temperatures can be fraught with difficulties, if any doubt exists, please consult Isotech for advice before embarking on any exercise in which there is a risk of contamination of the sensors you are trying to calibrate.
