Description
The Mellen SV-Series Split Tube Furnace (SV13.25-1.25×12-224) is a high-temperature solution for laboratories and R&D requiring durable, flexible tube-processing. With multi-zone or single-zone PID control (controller sold separately), it reaches 1,325 °C in air — or higher in inert/vacuum environments — using Vulcan-supported elements.
Vulcan’s MPCT (Multi-Point Contact Technology) supports various bore geometries — round, square, hex, and more — without performance compromise . A double-walled steel frame and ceramic-fiber insulation deliver fast thermal response and a cooler housing, even after extensive high-temperature operation.
Designed with a hinged, clamshell-style body, it provides easy tube insertion and maintenance. Whether you need a 1.25″ round bore or a custom configuration, Mellen builds the heating elements and insulation to match your exact requirements.
