Intended Use

The 5300A20/F48025-TS or 5300A25/F48025-80-TS

furnace is a general purpose laboratory and heat treat-

ing furnace. For optimum element life, Thomas

Scientific recommends observing these temperature

ranges: from 100°C (212°F) to 1093°C (2000°F) contin-

uous use or from 1093°C (2000°F) to 1200C (2192°F)

for intermittent use. Continuous use is operating the

furnace for more than 3 hours and intermittent use is

operating the furnace for less than 3 hours.

All furnaces consist of: 1) a vented heating chamber;

2) a temperature controller; and 3) a door safety switch

for operator safety.

General Usage

Do not use this product for anything other than its

intended usage.

Principles of Operation

The furnace chamber is heated by open coil electric

resistance elements and is insulated with ceramic fiber

insulation. The controller is located under the furnace

chamber and is well insulated from the heat generated

in the furnace chamber. A door safety switch removes

power to the heating elements whenever the furnace

door is opened. The temperature is controlled by one

of three types of controllers.

Introduction

Caution

Do not exceed operating temperatures

shown in “General Specifications.”

Exceeding these limits will result in

severely reduced element life.
