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 1300 Degree Celsius (°C) LOI Furnace 300 x 300 x 600 MM Chamber for buyers who search by exact machine type, chamber size and 1300°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 300 x 300 x 600 MM chamber with usable chamber volume of 54 litre, approximate power load of 14.5 kW, square 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.
Routine QC and teaching labs value a muffle furnace precisely because one unit can cover several standard test methods without dedicated process-specific tooling.
Uniform chamber heating and a simple door-loading design make a muffle furnace straightforward to standardise across multiple operators and shifts.
