LOI stands for "Loss on Ignition." This furnace is specifically used to heat a sample to a high temperature (typically 1000°C) to drive off volatile components like water, carbonates, and organic matter. The working principle involves weighing a sample before and after ignition in a controlled atmosphere (usually air); the weight loss percentage is the LOI. Its purpose is an essential analytical technique in ceramics, geology, soil science, and cement manufacturing to determine the composition and quality of raw materials and products.
This configuration is suitable when the sample load must fit a 150 x 150 x 300 MM chamber with usable chamber volume of 6.8 litre, approximate power load of 6.2 kW, square chamber profile. It is commonly selected for laboratory, QC, metallurgical, ceramic, pharmaceutical and industrial heat-treatment work requiring stable heating and repeatable process conditions. Typical use includes general laboratory and industrial heat-treatment applications requiring stable, repeatable temperature control.

Trutherm manufactures 1000 Degree Celsius (°C) LOI Furnace 150 x 150 x 300 MM Chamber for buyers who search by exact machine type, chamber size and 1000°C temperature rating. This page is specific to the MM dimension version, so the chamber size is presented in the unit normally used in the buyer's drawing, tender or purchase request.
Routine QC and teaching labs value a muffle furnace precisely because one unit can cover several standard test methods without dedicated process-specific tooling.
Uniform chamber heating and a simple door-loading design make a muffle furnace straightforward to standardise across multiple operators and shifts.
As a general-purpose muffle furnace, this model covers a broader range of routine heating tasks than a process-specific ashing, tube or sintering furnace, making it the practical default when the lab runs mixed sample types rather than one dedicated process.
