LOI stands for "Loss on Ignition." This furnace is specifically used to heat a sample to a high temperature (typically 1000°C) to drive off volatile components like water, carbonates, and organic matter. The working principle involves weighing a sample before and after ignition in a controlled atmosphere (usually air); the weight loss percentage is the LOI. Its purpose is an essential analytical technique in ceramics, geology, soil science, and cement manufacturing to determine the composition and quality of raw materials and products.

Trutherm manufactures 1200 Degree Celsius (°C) LOI Furnace 140 x 250 x 500 MM Chamber for buyers who search by exact machine type, chamber size and 1200°C temperature rating. This page is specific to the MM dimension version, so the chamber size is presented in the unit normally used in the buyer's drawing, tender or purchase request.
This configuration is suitable when the sample load must fit a 140 x 250 x 500 MM chamber with usable chamber volume of 17.5 litre, approximate power load of 9.2 kW, rectangular - tall chamber profile. It is commonly selected for laboratory, QC, metallurgical, ceramic, pharmaceutical and industrial heat-treatment work requiring stable heating and repeatable process conditions. Typical use includes general laboratory and industrial heat-treatment applications requiring stable, repeatable temperature control.
Uniform chamber heating and a simple door-loading design make a muffle furnace straightforward to standardise across multiple operators and shifts.
Where sample volume and process type vary week to week, a general-purpose muffle furnace avoids the cost of maintaining several process-specific furnace types.
As a general-purpose muffle furnace, this model covers a broader range of routine heating tasks than a process-specific ashing, tube or sintering furnace, making it the practical default when the lab runs mixed sample types rather than one dedicated process.
