Wire-Wound Furnace for TGA 55 and TGA 550
The wire-wound furnace comes installed on the Discovery TGA 55 and TGA 550. The wire-wound and
EGA furnaces can be exchanged as directed in the Online Help. The wire-wound furnace is a resistance
heater wound on alumina ceramic, which allows sample zone temperatures as high as 1,000°C with heat-
ing rates up to 100°C/min. The housing is mounted to a furnace base that raises and lowers the furnace for
sample loading and unloading. A Platinel II® thermocouple is positioned in the furnace, just above the
sample pan, where it monitors the sample environment temperature.
