1500°C Max. Resistance Heated Pressing Furnace to 100 MPa under Oxygen Atmosphere - HP-1350X

HP-1350X is a resistance-heated pellet pressing furnace designed for the pressing and sintering of ceramic and metallic materials under controlled atmospheres, including oxygen. The system is described as having a maximum working temperature of 1350°C and pressing pressure up to 100 MPa, with support for pellet diameters of 10–12.7 mm. The furnace combines a precision servo-driven pressing mechanism, programmable temperature control, and a stainless steel vacuum chamber capable of operating under vacuum or positive pressure. It is particularly suitable for investigating the effects of oxygen pressure on functional oxide ceramic materials. A touchscreen control system, PC monitoring software, and recirculating water chiller are included. Certain temperature and heating-rate values differ between the product overview and detailed specifications, as noted below.

Maximum specified vacuum level: 10-5 Torr Vacuum pump is not explicitly listed as included in the standard package. View vacuum pump options. Compliance CE certified NRTL certification available upon request at additional cost CSA certification available upon request at additional cost Important Specification Notes The product overview specifies a maximum furnace temperature of 1350°C, while the detailed temperature-control section specifies 1400°C. The product overview specifies heating rates up to 20°C/min, while the detailed temperature-control section specifies a maximum of 100°C/min. The heater's stated 1500°C temperature rating should not be interpreted as the maximum permitted furnace operating temperature. The specified maximum pressing pressure of 100 MPa depends on the pressing area and must be considered alongside the maximum servo load of 2000 kgf. The standard included Si3N4 die has a 12 mm inner diameter, although the product overview describes pellet diameters from 10 to 12.7 mm. Confirm the appropriate temperature, heating rate, pressing pressure, and atmosphere limits for the intended application with the manufacturer.
