FLUKE Process Instruments GmbH

The Datapaq Furnace Tracker for Metals Heat Treating from Fluke Process Instruments features the Datapaq TP6 data logger, choice of thermal barrier (Datapaq TB40 or TB49), thermocouples and our intuitive Datapaq Insight™ Software to create a complete solution.

Furnace Tracker Systems that include thermal barriers from the Datapaq TB40 Series are designed for use in conveyorized or batch furnaces, operated up to 800°C (1472°F). For processes at higher temperatures, the Datapaq TB49 Series features floating plate technology and more exotic materials, which enable use up to 1050°C (1922°F).

Data Logger

• Available in 10 and 20 channel configurations and two case styles.
• Water resistant (IP67 rated).
• Communication via USB or Bluetooth
• Real time telemetry via USB, RF telemetry and Bluetooth.
• Alkaline, NiMH and Lithium battery options.
• Compatible with the Datapaq Insight™ for mobile application.

Thermal Barriers

Thermal barriers from the Datapaq TB40 Series work in two stages to keep the logger at a safe operating temperature while it travels through processes with temperatures up to 800°C (1472°F). The first stage of thermal protection is a layer of microporous ceramic insulation located inside a rugged stainless-steel case. The second stage is a heat sink that features phase change material, which further slows down the heat transferred to the data logger.

The Datapaq TB49 Series combines years of design experience with advanced materials knowledge to provide maximum protection to your data logger as it passes through the furnace. By using a balanced combination of microporous insulation and phase-change heat sink, the data logger can be kept below its maximum operating temperature – even in the longest processes. The TB49 Series is ideal for the thermal profiling of aluminum and steel products to verify heat treatment processes. It is also commonly used in Temperature Uniformity Survey (TUS) applications up to 1050°C (1922°F).

Software

Every Datapaq Insight™ Software product is designed to convert your raw data into meaningful information that can be acted on. All three software options provide a clear user interface, context sensitive help screens and wizards to assist novice users. The ability to change the language and email results directly from software enables you to share information across the plant and across the world, whether you’re on a computer or mobile device.
