    Seven Zones 1200° C Max. 5" Split Tube Furnace OTF-1200X-VII-5UL 5. Operation If the furnace is being used for the first time (or use again after a long period of inactivity), please pre- heat the furnace to 300 for at least 2 hours to remove moisture inside the chamber. This helps to prevent the furnace refractory ceramics from cracking.

If your system has a big gas leaking rate, you may locate the leaking part(s) by using soap suds and apply vacuum grease on the part(s).
  • Page 16 Seven Zones 1200° C Max. 5" Split Tube Furnace OTF-1200X-VII-5UL Attention 1. A small to medium heating rate with a small temperature difference between the adjacent segments should be set when the furnace is being heated up from room temperature. Please take the characteristics of the material being sintered into consideration when setting the heating rate.
