ISO 562 Volatile Matter Chamber Furnace

This chamber furnace is designed explicitly for Volatile Matter (VM) analysis in full compliance with ISO 562 standards. Engineered for precise temperature control, rapid response times, and uniform heating, it ensures accurate, repeatable volatile matter determination in coal and coke testing laboratories.

The furnace delivers the fast heating rates required by ISO 562, making it ideal for routine laboratory testing, research applications, and industrial quality control environments where compliance and accuracy are critical.

Standard Features

  • Maximum temperature: 1100°C
