between the load and the sides of the
chamber.

parts, spread them throughout the mid-
dle two thirds of the chamber.
• Keep objects away from thermocouple.
• Raise your load up off the furnace floor
with small pieces of ceramic or a hearth
plate to promote even heating.

loading and unloading furnace.

Furnace Loading
Caution
Do not overload your furnace
chamber or allow the load to
touch the thermocouple. If the
load is to be heated uniformly, it
should not occupy more than
two-thirds of any dimension of
the chamber. Failure to observe
these cautions could result in
damage to furnace components
and/or load.
