Background
In recent years, universities in Saudi Arabia have significantly increased investment in advanced materials research, powder metallurgy, and functional ceramics.
To support high-precision thermal experiments under controlled atmospheres, a leading Saudi university required a laboratory-grade controlled atmosphere tube furnace with stable temperature control and flexible gas management.
After a technical evaluation, the university selected a Controlled Atmosphere Tube Furnace provided by Brother Furnace.

Customer Requirements
The research laboratory required the furnace to meet the following criteria:
-
Precise temperature control for high-temperature experiments
-
Stable and continuous protective atmosphere during heating processes
-
Compatibility with gases such as nitrogen, argon, and mixed atmospheres
-
Uniform heating zone suitable for academic and research applications
-
Safe operation and easy control for university laboratory use
Equipment Solution
BonaTherm supplied a laboratory-controlled atmosphere tube furnace integrated with a complete gas control system and digital temperature controller.
Key features of the tube furnace include:
-
Multi-channel gas control system
Equipped with independent flowmeters for accurate regulation of different process gases. -
High-uniformity tubular heating zone
Ensures consistent temperature distribution along the tube for reliable experimental results. -
Advanced PID temperature control
