Datapaq® Furnace Tracker Temperature Uniformity Survey Systems
The Datapaq Furnace Tracker Temperature Uniformity Survey (TUS) System from Fluke Process Instruments features the TP6 data logger, choice of thermal barrier (TB45 or TB46), thermocouples and our intuitive Temperature Uniformity Survey (TUS) Insight™ Software package to perform accurate in-process product thermal profiling while verifying conformity to all required specifications, including the AMS2750 standard.
Data Loggers
The Datapaq TP6 is the perfect solution for the most demanding high-temperature profiling applications with a 316-grade machined stainless-steel case and IP67 rating. Once combined with the Datapaq Insight™ or Datapaq Insight Furnace Surveying software you can display information from the data logger in real time via the optional Radio Frequency (RF) system or via standard USB/Bluetooth connections.
- 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
The Datapaq TB45 and TB46 Thermal Barrier series incorporate multiple design features such as additional strengthening at critical points, removable gas quench deflector shields and over center catches to achieve the best possible product life. Internally, the thermal barriers incorporate gas flow vents that allow fast pressure equalization as conditions change from vacuum to high pressure.
The TB45 Series of thermal barriers can operate in temperatures up to 1050°C (1922°F); meanwhile, the TB46 Series features high temperature insulation and an Inconel casing so it can withstand temperatures of up to 1200°C (2192°F).
Temperature Uniformity Survey Software
This advanced software package for real-time data monitoring, along with the TM21 Radio (RF) Telemetry System, separates both profiling and surveying functions, each having its own wizards and analysis tabs. This software automatically performs full analysis calculations, allows for real-time alarms and alerts when critical events take place during the survey, and instantly prints a survey report complying with the AMS2750 standard. Other features include:
- One software package for TUS setup and reporting; includes thermocouple and automated logger correction factors
- Provides complete AMS2750 documentation
- Displays tolerances and setpoints in real-time

In the aerospace and automotive heat treatment industries, Temperature Uniformity Surveying (TUS) is the technique of confirming the process is compliant with industry standards. Furnaces and ovens are normally required to be compliant to AMS2750 or CQI-9 specifications before products can be heat-treated.
With the Furnace Tracker TUS Systems you are gaining the capability to automatically generate reports (and an audit trail of these reports), reduce furnace survey time, decrease man hours spent generating reports and eliminate the ‘human error’ factor. Learn more about Aerospace and Automotive Heat Treatment in our Knowledge Center.
- Run surveys in real-time more efficiently using Insight™ software that is fully compatible with AMS2750 and can generate reports instantly
- Flexibility; multiple thermocouple types can be specified on the Datapaq TP6 data loggers, with up to 20 channels on a single logger that can be doubled or tripled, depending on TUS needs
- Fully certified TUS capability for AMS2750 and CQI-9, including on board correction factors and calibration data helping to eliminate human error at data input

| Radio telemetry link
The Datapaq TP6 radio telemetry system utilizes high temperature radio-frequency technology to allow data transmission from the data logger in real time. As the system travels through the process, product and process temperature data can be viewed, analyzed and reported instantaneously. This technology can be applied to monitoring key thermal processes in most industrial heating applications. |
