High-Performance Split Tube Furnaces for Precision Heating Applications
High-Performance Split Tube Furnaces for Precision Heating Applications
Blog Article
At Elite Thermal Systems Limited, we specialize in the manufacture of high-quality thermal processing equipment for laboratories and industry. Among our advanced heating solutions, Split Tube Furnaces stand out for their precision, flexibility, and ease of access — making them ideal for a wide range of research, testing, and production environments.
What Are Split Tube Furnaces?
Split Tube Furnaces are specially engineered with a hinged design that allows the furnace body to open, providing quick and easy access to the work tube. This makes them particularly suitable for applications where frequent sample loading, tube changes, or inspection is required. These furnaces offer uniform and precise heating performance, even in high-temperature environments.
Elite Thermal Systems offers a variety of split tube models, including horizontal split tube furnaces and vertical split tube furnaces, as well as split gradient tube furnaces for complex thermal profiling.
Models and Temperature Control
Our TSVH11, TSVH12, TSVH17 and TSHH11, TSHH12 series represent the latest in high-performance vertical and horizontal split tube furnace technology. These furnaces are designed for applications requiring high uniformity, stable temperatures, and excellent thermal repeatability.
Temperature control in split tube furnaces is a key performance feature. Each model is equipped with digital PID controllers, programmable profiles, and optional data logging — allowing users to maintain tight temperature tolerances and process repeatability.
For more advanced thermal applications, we also offer gradient split tube furnaces, which enable differential heating zones for simultaneous multi-temperature testing. These are ideal for thermal conductivity studies, material synthesis, and other complex research procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What are the advantages of using a Split Tube Furnace?
A1: Split tube furnaces allow quick and easy access to the heating tube, which makes them ideal for experiments that require frequent loading, tube replacement, or maintenance. They also offer excellent thermal uniformity and control.
Q2: What models are available in your Split Tube Furnace range?
A2: We offer multiple models, including the TSVH11, TSVH12, TSVH17 for horizontal setups and TSHH11, TSHH12 for vertical applications. Each model is designed for specific temperature and dimensional requirements.
Q3: Can you provide Split Tube Furnaces with multiple temperature zones?
A3: Yes. Our gradient split tube furnaces allow for multiple heating zones, making them perfect for processes that require thermal gradients or simultaneous multi-zone testing.
Q4: What is the maximum operating temperature of these furnaces?
A4: Our high-temperature vertical split tube furnaces and horizontal variants can operate up to 1700°C, depending on the model and selected heating elements.
Q5: How do I know which configuration—vertical or horizontal—is right for my needs?
A5: Vertical configurations are ideal for gravitational or suspended processes, while horizontal units are suited for bench-mounted operations. Our team can help determine the right choice based on your application.
Q6: Can I request a custom furnace with a specific tube or feature?
A6: Absolutely. We specialise in custom-built solutions, including split tube furnaces with load devices, specific tube diameters, vacuum or controlled atmosphere options.
