02Overview

Compare material forms, grades and densities, then use the chamber, electrical and drawing checklists to prepare a complete RFQ.

03Technical information

Selection guides for ceramic fiber materials and furnace components.

Choose between board, blanket and paper; compare temperature grades and densities; or prepare the dimensions and electrical information required for a custom chamber or multi-zone heating assembly.

05Product selection steps

Prepare the operating, dimensional and quantity data needed for quotation.

Open the guide for the decision you need to make, record the known values, and send the result with your drawing or equipment information.

  1. 01

    Identify the missing information

    Check whether the product form, grade, chamber dimensions, electrical layout or required documents still need to be specified.

  2. 02

    Open the matching guide

    Use the material, chamber, heating-element or drawing guide for the product being quoted.

  3. 03

    Record project values

    Prepare the dimensions, operating conditions, quantity and any questions that must be resolved.

  4. 04

    Request a quotation

    Send the information with a drawing, photograph or equipment model.

08Technical FAQ

Questions about using the selection guides.

01Which documents state the ordered product?+

The quotation states the product and commercial terms. The approved production drawing records dimensions and interfaces, while the order documents list inspection and packing requirements.

02Is the guide enough to place an order?+

The guide helps collect the required information. A custom product also needs its operating conditions, dimensions, quantity and any applicable electrical data.

03Can I send an incomplete drawing?+

Yes. Mark known dimensions and unknowns clearly, then include operating conditions and photographs. SYNTHE will identify and resolve the missing technical points before production.

10Specification support
