A split furnace with silicon carbide heating elements that can be used for high-speed compression tests is described. It is concluded that the life of silicon carbide elements will be longer if the elements are fixed in horizontal direction. The shrinkage cracks on the refractories can be avoided if they are thin and stacked as plies. 5 refs.
