Atmospheric furnaces are also stated as controlled atmosphere furnace which is used to accommodate wide processing areas where inert atmosphere is required to protect heating samples that are ready to oxidize. These units are employed in application such as bonding, curing and heat treating. Each unit contains digital PID controller, which is used to confirm the higher level of temperature accuracy while working all the time.
