The TMS UTFC range of universal tube furnaces can be used in a vertical or horizontal position and have three separate heating zones to ensure good uniformity across the work piece.

They are often used by laboratories for tensile testing of materials, as creep-test furnaces or stress rupture test furnaces.

In most cases they are suitable for replacing units of other makes, such as Mayes, Dennison, etc.

On the side of the casing is a terminal box for connecting to the elements and earthing the unit. Most models have a small tube for a thermocouple embedded in the heating elements for over-temperature protection (which when used with the proper equipment ensures the elements don’t over-heat). Therefore the units can last much longer and are less likely to fail during a test. The units have either three or four M10 threaded mounted rods on a PCD of 203mm ±3mm.

There is a choice of 4 standard models, these include 3 tube diameters and 3 lengths. Control systems are sold separately, please contact us for more details.

Max Continous Temperature: 1000°C
Max Short Term Temperature: 1100°C (element over-temperature protection system is recommended)
Power Rating: 1kW per zone (3kW total at 240Vac)
Supply Voltage: 240Vac 50Hz

Asynt was formed in July 2003 with the aim to develop, supply and support new and novel products and services central to the laboratory.

Since inception, we have developed the DrySyn range (clean, safe synthesis without the need for oil baths and heating mantles) and now offer a broad range of scientific tools and consumables spanning from synthesis into biology.

Our current team has over 70 years of experience in the scientific sector and work hard to help our customers find the best possible solutions for their requirements. Key product lines available include Asynt ReactoMate Controlled Lab Reactors, the DrySyn heating and cooling blocks, Grant, IKA, Julabo, Porvair, Telstar and Vacuubrand amongst others.

Asynt’s Managing Director, Martyn Fordham, spent almost twenty years dealing with the requirements of research chemists (at the outset just custom glassblowing) before forming Asynt. For Martyn, having the right staff who are both knowledgeable and dedicated to customer support has been the key to Asynt’s successful growth.
