Glass melt furnaces used in environmental research This photo of a researcher pouring glass that was melted in a Deltech glass melt furnace appears on the homepage for the Alfred University Center for Glass Innovation. According to the information posted there, the Center was established at the New York State College of Ceramics to “develop …
Visit us at Ceramics Expo 2021! Update from close of show: see photo to the right of Co-Owner/Director of Sales, Engineering, and Production J.J. Stevenson in our booth at the Expo. It was surprisingly well attended given that Covid continues to present special problems for travelers, especially those coming from places outside of the United …
Deltech Vertical Tube Furnace and the Z Machine Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque New Mexico has a machine that can “create conditions found nowhere else on earth”. It is “the most powerful and efficient laboratory radiation source. It uses high magnetic fields associated with high electrical currents to product high temperatures, high pressures, and powerful …
3 Types of Benchtop Furnace Deltech supplies 3 different types of benchtop furnace, all of which are simple to use and maintain and have features which can be used for various kinds of thermal processing. This can be for both research and product manufacturing purposes. The versatility of a benchtop furnace means that the …
A tunnel kiln is a continuous moving ware kiln, in which the products to be heated are passed through in cars through a long tunnel. Heating of the products takes place at the central area of the tunnel. Tunnel kilns provide the best levels of fuel efficiency and cost-effective operation in instances where mass production …
Oscillating motion furnaces allow for agitation of melts before crystal growth. The design of oscillating motion furnaces means that furnace inclination can be adjusted regularly in addition to the variation of oscillation frequency and amplitude and the rotation of the furnace to a vertical position. What are Oscillating Motion Furnaces Used For? At Deltech, we …
Silicon carbide is an exceptionally hard crystalline compound of silicon and carbon which is synthetically produced. It has historically been used for sandpapers and cutting tools, however, in recent years its use has expanded and it is now frequently being used for heating elements in industrial furnaces as well as in parts for pumps, rocket …
Deltech furnaces meet current NFPA 86 guidelines The National Fire Protection Association is a nonprofit organization that promotes fire and electrical safety and related concerns. Despite its name, it has international reach. Perhaps you know the organization, through “Sparky”, their mascot that helps promote fire safety to children, a bit like Smokey the Bear promotes forest …
One of the easiest ways to categorise thermal processing equipment is by configuration. It is not uncommon to classify furnaces by application (i.e., pharmaceutical ovens), or even by specific certifications (i.e., ISO 6245-accredited), but using the general shape and orientation of the heating chamber is the preferred naming convention. This is for simplicity’s sake, as …
Creep tests are carried out on alloy samples to ascertain their physical properties at standard operating temperatures. Simply put, a sample is heated to a stable temperature (dependent on the material) above 300°C. In order to exert a longitudinal force on the alloy’s grain structure, a stress is then applied to the sample. The sample …
