Description
The Carbolite AAF-BAL 11/17 Ashing Furnace is a specialized solution for laboratories performing Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Loss on Ignition (LOI), and other mass-based combustion tests. This unit integrates a high-accuracy balance directly into the furnace, enabling real-time mass measurement during thermal cycling at temperatures up to 1100°C (2012°F).
Its 17-liter chamber is engineered with fan-assisted convection, low-contamination insulation, and PID digital controls to ensure thermal uniformity and precise data acquisition. The balance interface and software integration allow for automated workflows, audit trails, and data output for compliance in regulated industries.
This furnace is ideal for environmental testing labs, cement and lime production QC, food and biomass analysis, and academic research requiring synchronized thermal and weight analysis.
