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 690 x 690 x 885 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 690 x 690 x 885 MM chamber with usable chamber volume of 421.3 litre, approximate power load of 33.3 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.

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.
A muffle furnace is usually the first furnace a lab installs, since it covers the broadest share of everyday heating, drying and ashing tasks before more specialised equipment is added.
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.
