The TSHvc15 Horizontal Vacuum Tube Furnace is a precision-engineered solution for high-temperature thermal processing under controlled vacuum conditions. The Low Vacuum model achieves an ultimate vacuum of better than 1 × 10⁻² mbar. In contrast, the High Vacuum model, equipped with a turbomolecular pump, reaches 1 × 10⁻⁵ mbar or better with a clean, empty work tube. This makes the TSHvc15 ideal for advanced research, material synthesis, heat treatment, and atmosphere-sensitive processes.
