Palaeointensity furnaces

The group has 3 paleointensity furnaces (Pyrox and home-made).

  • Big capacity, up to 72 standard size samples
  • Mobile medium capacity, up to 48 standard size samples
  • Low capacity, 8-9 standard size samples Uniform temperature controlled by 3 independent heating zones. Heating and cooling in air or under Argon flow continuously passing over the samples and controlled by a bubbler.
