Temperature Recorder Available for Recording the Process.
4.2. KeType ( CHRIALU) Thermocouples are using the
temperature range of 1200°C
4.3. Digital Temperature Indicator and Controllers are using and
the Temperature Range of 1200°C
S.TESTING EQUIPMENTS:
5.1 BRINELL Hardness Testing Machine are Using to check the
Hardness in the Annealed Material.
5.2 Portable and Poldi Hardness Testers are used
6.CALIBRATION
6.1 Fumaces are calibrated Once In a Year as per API 6A Standards to find out
the Temperature Uniformity inside the Fumace by providing 23 Thermocouples.
‘As per the API 6A Standards the Furnace Uniformity
is + 8°C For Stress Relieving and + 14°C For Normalizing Temperature,
6.2. Recorder , controller, and thermocouples shall be calibrated once in 3 months.
63 Testing Equipments shall be calibrated once in 6 months.
