Dentistry — Dental furnace — Part 3: Test method for the evaluation of high temperature sintering furnace measurement with a separate thermocouple ISO 13078-3:2023

Publication date:   May 11, 2023

Scope

This document specifies a test method for the calibration of resistance-heated high temperature sintering furnaces that are suitable for the sintering of dental restorations in the temperature range up to 1 700 °C.
NOTE       A test method for the calibration of dental furnaces that are suitable for the heat treatment of silica-based dental ceramic restorations in the temperature range between 600 °C and 1 050 °C is specified in ISO 13078:2013. ISO 13078:2013 does not include the calibration of sintering furnace used for sintering of oxide ceramics or sintered metal, in whose firing chamber restorations are sintered at temperatures of 1 000 °C to 1 700 °C.
