Laboratory ovens are ovens for high-forced volume thermal convection applications. These ovens generally provide uniform temperatures throughout. Process applications for laboratory ovens can be for annealing, die-bond curing, drying, Polyimide baking, sterilizing, and other industrial laboratory functions. Typical sizes are from one cubic foot to 32 cubic feet (0.91 m3) with temperatures that can be over 650 degrees fahrenheit (340 degrees celsius).
Laboratory ovens can be used in numerous different applications and configurations, including clean rooms, forced convection, horizontal airflow, inert atmosphere, natural convection, and pass through.
Some of the types of industries that typically use these laboratory ovens are the healthcare industry, technology industry, and transportation industry.
