What is a Vacuum Oven Used For and How Does it Work?
A vacuum oven is a type of oven in which the air pressure inside the chamber is reduced, creating a vacuum or low-pressure environment. It is primarily used for drying, heating, and curing materials that are sensitive to heat, oxygen, or moisture. It is commonly used in industries such as pharmaceuticals, electronics, and automotive, for purposes such as removing solvents from glassware and electronic components, baking coatings onto products, and testing materials under high temperatures while avoiding oxidation.
