The term 2-bar is typically describing the quenching pressure capability of the furnace. A 2-bar operates (quenches) at 2-bar or 15 psig. A 6-bar would of course be operating at 6-bar when quenching. Typically quenching pressures are selectable and the ratings would be the maximum operating pressuRead more

Yes a vacuum furnace or any similar chamber can be considered a confined space. A confined space is any space with limited entry or egress. The primary concern in a vacuum furnace (confined space) is limited air flow or available oxygen to breathe. With vacuum furnaces we also have to consider the fact that process gasses are also connected to the furnace or vessel. These gasses can also displace oxygen when used during back-fill or if leaking.
