Application Notes | - Hytort Application, or named Hydroretorting of Shale Oil is a process developed by IGT to double the yield of shale oil and hydrocarbon gases. MTI High-Pressure furnaces with Ni-based superalloy tube is an ideal tool for conducting related experiments. Please click underlined to view research paper.
|
Safety Notes | - Ni-based Superalloy ( Waspaloy or equivalent) is a reliable processing tube which can be used under high temperature and high pressure.. It has excellent ductility and tensile property so only creep deformation happens under overpressure destruction test and following by a crack formed (usually at the hot zone at the center of tube) to release the pressure. Brittle fracture won’t happen in the overpressure destruction test which means no tube explosion will happen under overpressure of inert gas or safe gas or under other accidents causing overpressure of inert gas or safe gas.
The pics show Ni-based Super-alloy processing tube under overpressure test - Warning:
- Never put a sample inside the tube directly without crucible or isolated foil
- For the use of flammable, toxic, or corrosive gases, you must contact the MTI engineering group for the consultation to know all the prerequisites and precautionary measures.
- A two-stage pressure regulator must be installed on the gas cylinder to limit the pressure to below 3 PSI for safe operation. Please click here to learn how to install the gas regulator.

Optional Accessories | - To measure the electric properties of thermoelectric ceramics under high pressure & temperature conditions, please order alumina testing fixture and high-pressure electrical feedthrough (10Mpa Max.) with the furnace (additional fee will apply).
