| | Automated, High Temperature Furnace for Glovebox Operation |
 | | Since the sintering process and required equipment will be contained within gloveboxes, it is desired to minimize heat load to the glovebox in order to minimize facility requirements and simplify design. |
 | | After bidding, CM Furnace, who had supplied furnaces for glovebox use in the past, was contracted to supply a custom built, automated, bottom loaded furnace to meet the glovebox application need. |
 | | In order to change the control and overtemperature thermocouples, all that is needed is to insert one of the spare, retracted thermocouples into position inside the furnace and to reconnect the thermocouple extension wire (using standard thermocouple connectors) to the newly inserted thermocouple. |
