Convection ovens manipulate air flow within a heating chamber to effectively regulate temperature. Sometimes known as forced air ovens, convection ovens used a combination of blowers and fans to circulate air and evenly distribute heat—ensuring that all objects within the chamber are heated uniformly. This is the basic concept of most domestic ovens, but industrial convection ovens are commonplace too. How are Convection Ovens Used in an Industrial Setting? Industrial convection ovens are highly versatile and can be used to heat large quantities of objects extremely quickly. Industrial convection ovens can reach extremely high temperatures and can be used for…

Ashing is the process of removing organic material from a sample before analysis and is widely used in the food and petroleum industries. The processes of ashing can generally be split into two categories: wet ashing and dry ashing. Wet ashing removes organic material from a sample employing a liquid phase reactant such as combinations of acids. Dry ashing is achieved through the controlled combustion of a sample in air. Generally, dry ashing procedures follow the same basic principle: samples should be sufficiently heated in air which causes oxidation and removal of organic material from the sample. The remaining material…
