In the complex world of heat treatment,
nothing is more important than validating
your equipment to ensure uniformity, reliability
and repeatability. An important part of validating
your equipment is performing surveys, such as
Temperature Uniformity Surveys (TUS) and System
Accuracy Tests (SAT). However, in order to correctly
perform such surveys, you must know how to
properly configure your equipment.
The first order of business: PID Tuning. A
proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller is
used to help ensure the temperature of the
furnace during a heating cycle stays ...
When it comes to finding leaks in
your furnace, it can be a true art
form. One of our most common
customer questions concerns how to
find a leak using a helium mass
spectrometer. Which is why, in this
video and during Ipsen U, we show
attendees first-hand how to perform
a leak check using a helium mass
spectrometer, including how to
calibrate the helium mass spec-
trometer and how not to flood the
system with helium.
An essential part of the leak check
process is knowing which parts of the
furnace should be checked for leaks,

However, one of the hardest things to know (and
keep track of) are all the furnace components
you need to review on a regular and/or periodic

provided a few basic checklists that are grouped
by the frequency in which certain preventative
maintenance tasks should be ...
