Measuring both product temperature and its environment is an essential aspect to ensure both product quality and process effectiveness for metal heat treatment industries.
Fluke Process Instruments has crafted the most powerful and advanced furnace profiling systems. Fluke offers everything users need to classify their operation, no matter how difficult it is. It offers data loggers and thermal constraints to intuitive software reporting and analysis.
The Datapaq Furnace Tracker System is built to be used multiple times in the harshest industrial operations while still offering consistent and precise through-process temperature survey data. Each system will assist users in enhancing performance and system precision, reducing downtime and TUS reporting times, among other things.
The Datapaq TP6 has a 316-grade stainless-steel case and is obtainable with 10 or 20 thermocouple channels. Also, the data logger is completely waterproof (IP67-rated) and is equipped with Bluetooth technology to allow for fast and easy configuration from a PC or mobile device. Extra elements for particular products are highlighted below.
The selection of the best thermal barrier for high-temperature treatment processes is a key step towards enhancing users’ through-process profiling functionality.
Fluke Process Instruments cover a diverse range of thermal barriers that have been constructed to provide the highest heat protection — such as new sealed quench designs — in applications such as vacuum and controlled atmosphere, slab reheat and solution aging and many others.
Furnace Tracker Systems from Datapaq are crafted for authentic and precise in-process temperature survey data, as well as to fulfill the necessary process requirements in the most demanding industrial settings. The enigmas of the process can be disclosed. Users can find the profiling system in the list below.
