Product Description
The NACVST vertical split tube furnaces comprise a furnace body which is mounted on a vertical stand and split into two halves along its length.
The free standing vertical design is ideal for wrap around heating applications such as extension test rigs or vertical reaction tubes. The VST is also available as a lower temperature version with a 1200°C maximum operating temperature.
Usually requires, but does not include, an appropriate accessory work tube 32 mm, 66 mm or 90 mm maximum outer diameter.
