Overview
The CLS Scientific CLMF-1280 is a muffle furnace with an insulated ceramic-fibre chamber and PID-controlled, multi-segment programmable temperature profiles, intended for gravimetric thermal analysis and laboratory-scale heat treatment. For ash determination the sample is combusted to constant mass at the temperature prescribed by the relevant standard (ISO 3451-1 for polymers, ASTM D2584 for composite resins, ASTM E1755 for biomass) and the inorganic residue is reported as a mass percentage. Loss-on-ignition (LOI) measurements quantify volatile and carbonate content in cement, lime, soils, sediments and combustion residues. The same furnace serves calcination of catalyst and ceramic precursors, annealing of metal oxide nanopowders, binder burn-out and sintering of small components through controlled ramp-and-hold programmes. Temperature traceability is maintained with a calibrated thermocouple, and every run produces a profile record.
