The Lindberg/Blue M Mini-Mite tube furnace is an ultra lightweight, economical laboratory tube furnace rated for a maximum operating temperature of 1100°C. The Lindberg Blue M HTF and STF series tube furnaces utilize three-zone control systems with individual thermocouples for precise temperature management. The Thermo Scientific Lindberg/Blue M STF55433 is a 1500°C general-purpose tube furnace.[1][2][3]
What it is
The Lindberg Blue M branded tube furnace family includes HTF and STF series units with three-zone control systems for precise temperature management.[2]
How it works
Where it fits in the process flow

Frequently asked questions
Does the HTF and STF tube furnace family use zone control?
The HTF and STF series use three-zone control systems for precise temperature management.[2]
How is each heating zone monitored?
Each zone is measured by an individual thermocouple.[2]
What kind of controllers are used on the three-zone tube furnaces?
The three-zone tube furnaces use digital temperature controllers.[2]
Does the furnace operate with an internal process tube supplied by the manufacturer?
The furnace requires a customer-supplied process tube for operation.[2]
