Laboratory ovens are ovens for high-forced volume thermal convection applications. These ovens generally provide uniform temperatures . Process applications for laboratory ovens can be for annealing, drying, Polyimide baking, sterilizing, and other industrial laboratory functions. Typical sizes are from one cubic foot to 0.9 cubic metres (32 cu ft) with temperatures that can be over 340 degrees Celsius. Laboratory ovens can be used in numerous different applications and configurations, including clean rooms, forced convection, horizontal airflow, inert atmosphere and natural convection. Some of the types of industries that typically use these laboratory ovens are the healthcare industry, technology industry, and transportation industry.Civil engineering laboratories uses ovens for drying asphalt, soil, rock, or concrete samples.
