• Wide Operating Range
• For Indium, Tin, Zinc and Aluminium Cells
• Three Zone Design

Whilst heat pipe furnaces offer the ideal environment to melt and freeze ITS-90 Fixed Points the temperature range is limited by fluid that flows inside the pipe. Three zone furnaces can offer wider operating ranges and still meet the requirements for “Optimal Realization of the Defining Points of the ITS-90...” CCT/2000-13. In place of a heat pipe the 17703 Medium Temperature furnace uses top and bottom guard heaters to minimise temperature gradients.

The Model 17703 Furnace can be used with Indium, Tin, Zinc and Aluminium Cells. The substantial furnace core is machined from aluminium bronze.

From our own ongoing experience and customer feedback we have updated the Isotech Furnace Range to deliver the same proven performance and advanced features but with a number of convenience upgrades to make your life easier. The controllers have now been relocated to the top for easier operation, we now include an SPRT Stand and Cable Tidies to keep your standards safe and Accessory Pods to keep the furnace tops free from clutter. Our furnaces are programmable to automatically melt and freeze cells and feature both USB and Ethernet interfaces with bright crystal clear displays.
