Model 653 High-Temperature Furnaces

Model 653 High-Temperature Furnaces are ideal for a wide variety of high-temperature tests, including tension, compression, bend and fatigue testing of metals, composites, ceramics and many other materials. The furnaces have a user-friendly design that helps operators perform setup tasks more quickly – without compromising test quality or accuracy.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Accurate & Repeatable — Capable of achieving temperatures up to 1000°C (1800°F) in validated testing conditions
  • Easy Setup — User-friendly design that helps operators perform setup tasks more quickly.
  • Safety Interlocks — Switches shut down the furnace to protect equipment and specimens in the event of a water supply failure.
  • Versatile — Multiple furnace heights accommodate diverse test requirements
