The Tinius Olsen Compact Split furnace provides a means of performing tensile tests within a temperature range of up to 1200°C/2200°F or 1400°C/2500°F

The furnace is supported on a sliding rail located behind the columns of the testing machine. When the furnace is not in use, it can be pushed aside and clear of the operating area.

The furnace has a high quality rigid stainless steel outer case with a polished finish. Rigidity is important to prevent the insulation cracking in service and to allow high temperature extensometers to be mounted directly on the furnace case.

Additionally, the unit features high efficiency ceramic fiber insulation in support of accurate temperature management and safe working.

Chamber – (Ambient to 600°C)

Suitable for most twin screw materials testing machines, the Tinius Olsen Environmental Chamber provides a means for performing physical tests within a temperature range of Ambient-600°C (Ambient-1112°F).
Air is forced over the heating elements located in an insulated enclosure protecting the user and forced into the working chamber area top and bottom. It is then drawn back through the centre of the chamber, through a baffler to the heating elements and recirculated.

Controller type Eurotherm model 3016 for single thermocouple temperature control configuration. Optional sub-zero temperature testing is available via a self-pressurising liquid nitrogen Dewar.

Door is left hinged. Safety interlock operated by door hinge cut heating process when door is opened. Viewing window is central to door 350mm high by 170mm wide. supports use of non contacting extensometer and deflectometers.

The chamber is supported on a frame located between the columns of the testing machine. When the chamber is not in use, the chamber can be rolled back and parked clear of the operating area.

The Tinius Olsen high temperature furnace provides a means of performing tensile tests within a temperature range of ambient to 1200°C/2200°F.

The furnace is supported on a frame post located behind the columns of the testing machine. When the furnace is not in use, it can be pushed aside and clear of the operating area.

Additionally, the furnace features water-cooled mounting adaptors so that no heat is transferred to the loadcell, which could adversely affect the operation and calibration of the loadcell measurements.

Suitable for most twin screw materials testing machines, the Tinius Olsen Environmental Chamber provides a means for performing physical tests within a temperature range of -70-300°C (-95-570°F).
An internal radial fan provides efficient air circulation that minimizes temperature gradients throughout the chamber.

A digital controller ensures accurate temperature control. Optional sub-zero temperature testing is available via a self-pressurising liquid nitrogen Dewar.

The chamber door is fitted with a triple glazed window for viewing the test area and also scanning the sample for strain measurements when using the Tinius Olsen 500L laser extensometer. When liquid nitrogen is used, a demisting facility is fitted.

The chamber is supported on a frame located between the columns of the testing machine. When the chamber is not in use, the chamber can be rolled back and parked clear of the operating area.
