This three-zone split tube furnace features a side entry extensometer port and is manufactured with a wire-wound element for maximum operation up to 1200°C (2200°F). The elements are uniquely formed to provide optimum temperature uniformity, ensuring conformance with testing standards such as ASTM E21, ISO 6892-2, EN10002-5,and EN2002-2. The top and bottom furnace endplates are durable, provide excellent insulation, and include a 20 mm (0.787 in) diameter hole for use with pull rods.

Mounting brackets are used to securely attach the furnace to the test system.

Temperature control systems are designed for controlling the heat output of furnaces. The control systems can be configured to operate nearly any furnace with any one of several different thermocouples types. Three zone control systems are designed for heat-only furnaces with three separate zones of heating elements, and typically three different thermocouples to control those zones.

Quick-change adapters are typically used in hot tensile applications to provide simplified load train installation. They consist of a button-head washer that is threaded onto the room temperature end of a pull rod. The washer and pull rod are then inserted through a slot in the adapter body.

Threaded-end specimen holders made of Inconel 713-C rated for a maximum temperature of 1100 Deg. C (2000 Deg. F).

High temperature pull rods made of made of Inconel 713-C for strength and resistance to corrosion and oxidation. Both ends are threaded 0.75-10m-RH and are compatible with a range of grips, adapters, and specimen holders.

Rated for 9070 kgs (20,000 lbs) load up to 760°C (1400°F) and 1360 kgs (3000 lbs) load at a maximum temperature of 1100°C (2000°F).

One set (2) wedge grip specimen holders made of Hastelloy X. Holders designed for tension-only loading and may be equipped to accept flat specimens from 1.13 mm to 3.18 mm thick (0.005 in to 0.125 in) by 12.7 mm to 22.225 mm wide (0.5 in to 0.875 in). Design of holders requires drilling of holes in specimen end tabs for initial loading and jaw alignment. Centering pin diameter 4.1148 mm (0.162 in). Holders are 70mm (2.75 in) long by 38mm (1.375 in) diameter contain 0.75-10f-RH thread for attachment to pull rods. Jaw inserts ordered separately, selected based on thicknesses of specimens to be tested. See W-7554-A1, -A3, and -A4 below for available inserts and corresponding thickness ranges.

One set (two pairs) of high temperature wedge jaw inserts for use with the W-7554 high temperature tension wedge grips.

Pin and clevis specimen holders are designed for flat specimens that have a hole in each end. The specimen fits into the slot of the holder and is secured by the pin.

Note: Using a specimen that is smaller (thinner) than the slot width specified for a given set of holders can result in misalignment of the specimen.
