About This 1400°C Gem Furnace 490 x 260 x 260 MM Chamber
A general furnace used for heat-treating gemstones to enhance their color or clarity. Operating at controlled temperatures around 600°C, it can alter the oxidation state of trace elements within the crystal lattice. The working principle involves a controlled atmosphere (often reducing) and very precise temperature ramps to avoid thermal fracturing of the precious stones. Its purpose is commercially significant for treating sapphires, rubies, topaz, and citrine to improve their market value. It is a specialized tool in the gemstone trade and lapidary workshops.
Trutherm manufactures 1400 Degree Celsius (°C) Gem Furnace 490 x 260 x 260 MM Chamber for buyers who search by exact machine type, chamber size and 1400°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 490 x 260 x 260 MM chamber with usable chamber volume of 33.1 litre, approximate power load of 11.9 kW, rectangular - wide 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.
Equivalent chamber references: 490 x 260 x 260 MM, 49 x 26 x 26 CM and 19 x 10 x 10 INCH. Buyers searching for 1400 Degree Celsius Gem Furnace 490 x 260 x 260 MM chamber; 1400°C Gem Furnace 490 x 260 x 260 MM; 1400 Degree Celsius Gem Furnace 49 x 26 x 26 CM chamber; 1400°C Gem Furnace 49 x 26 x 26 CM; 1400 Degree Celsius Gem Furnace 19 x 10 x 10 INCH chamber; 1400°C Gem Furnace 19 x 10 x 10 INCH can verify the same physical chamber on this canonical product page before requesting price, GST invoice, packaging and delivery.
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.
FAQs for 1400 Degree Celsius (°C) Gem Furnace 490 x 260 x 260 MM Chamber

Why Choose This Gem Furnace
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.
