Laboratory ovens are used in a variety of thermal processing applications including general lab work, component and stability testing, core hardening, drying glassware, and sterilizing. Specific applications for laboratory ovens include aging, annealing, baking, brazing or soldering, burn-off, curing, drying, firing or sintering, foundry or melting, heat treating, hot pressing, preheating, quenching and sterilizing. Laboratory ovens may also be used for general industrial applications as well. The most important specification for laboratory ovens is temperature range. This is the maximum temperature at which the unit may operate and still maintain rated performances. The capacity or volume of heated interior space of the unit is also a parameter that needs consideration.
