This is a Technical Specifications/Salient Characteristics document for federal contract PR No. 1301376106 outlining requirements for ashing and high temperature furnaces for processing scientific samples.

Two specific furnace models are required. The LHT 03/17 D is a high temperature furnace featuring molybdenum disilicide heating elements with a maximum temperature of 1650°C, an interior volume of 4 liters, maximum exterior dimensions of 450mm depth by 412mm width, and operates on 208V single phase power. The LVT 5/11 is an ashing furnace with a maximum temperature of 1100°C, an interior volume of 5 liters, maximum exterior dimensions of 415mm depth by 385mm width, and operates on 120V power. The ashing furnace includes heating from two sides with ceramic heating plates and integral heating elements, a lift door with the hot surface facing away from the operator for safety, air exchange of more than 6 times per minute, and good temperature uniformity achieved through preheating of incoming air.
