1. Definition
Tube furnaces are mainly used in industries such as metallurgy, glass, heat treatment, lithium positive and negative electrode materials, new energy, and grinding tools. They are professional equipment for measuring materials under certain temperature conditions. It adopts resistance wire heating, with balanced temperature distribution, which can achieve high-precision and high stability temperature control.

2. Characteristics
High temperature stability: The temperature control system of the tube furnace is very precise, which can ensure the stability of the temperature inside the furnace. This is important for experiments and production processes that require strict temperature control.
Fast heating speed: Due to the use of resistance wire heating, the tube furnace can quickly reach the desired temperature in a short period of time, improving work efficiency.
Small size, easy to move: The tubular furnace has a small body size, occupies little space, is easy to move and move, and is suitable for use in different locations and environments.
Easy to operate: The tube furnace adopts a digital temperature control system with preset and real-time monitoring functions. The operation interface is intuitive and easy to understand, making it very convenient to operate and control.
Widely used: Tube furnaces are suitable for various heat treatment, drying, sintering, annealing, quenching and other processes, and are widely used in manufacturing, scientific research, medicine and other fields.
Easy maintenance: The tube furnace adopts a modular design, making maintenance and replacement of components relatively easy, reducing repair costs and time costs.
Safe and reliable: The design of the tube furnace fully considers safety and has multiple safety protection measures, such as over temperature protection, power-off protection, etc., to ensure that no safety accidents occur during use.

3. Type
There are various types of tube furnaces to meet the needs of different industries and experiments. According to furnace type, it can be divided into vertical furnace, cylindrical furnace, large square furnace, etc; According to their purposes, they can be divided into chemical reaction furnaces, furnaces for heating liquids, gas heating furnaces, and furnaces for heating mixed phase flows; According to function, it can be divided into vacuum tube furnace, atmosphere tube furnace, ordinary tube furnace, rotary tube furnace, multi station tube furnace, etc; According to the temperature zone, it can be divided into single temperature zone tube furnace, double temperature zone tube furnace, triple temperature zone (multi temperature zone) tube furnace, etc.

4. Usage and maintenance
Before use, ensure that the electric furnace and control cabinet are grounded as a whole, and the grounding resistance of the grounding wire should be less than 4 Ω to ensure safety.
When loading and unloading materials, intermittent manual loading and unloading should be used to avoid damage to furnace tubes and heating elements.
During use, it is necessary to regularly check the fastening of all screws in the furnace body, as well as the working status of heating elements and thermocouples, to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
During maintenance, it is necessary to follow the requirements of the equipment manual to avoid unnecessary damage to the equipment.
