1.1 This specification covers the performance requirements for general-purpose air ovens ordinarily used in testing operations, which have a testing chamber up to 0.6 m3 (25 ft3) in volume. It is applicable to gravity-convection ovens designed to operate over all or part of the temperature range from 20176;C above ambient temperature to 200176;C and to forced-ventilation ovens designed to operate over all or part of the temperature range from 20176;C above ambient temperature to 500176;C.
Note 18212;Ovens are designed for maximum operating temperatures of about 200176;C, 300176;C, and 500176;C, the thermal insulation and cost of the oven being dependent on the maximum temperature required.
<>1.2 This specification does not include safety requirements that are essential for ovens used in the presence of combustible vapors or gases.
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The metric equivalents of inch-pound units may be approximate.
