Press Release New 20-channel temperature profiler for aluminum solution treatment Fluke Process Instruments presents 10-channel and 20-channel data loggers for temperature profiling in aluminum solution treatment and age hardening processes. The new DATAPAQ TP3 loggers store up to 3.6 million data points and provide an excellent ±0.3 °C accuracy. Thermal and ingress protection have been enhanced to ensure optimal performance. The logger can automatically choose a faster sampling interval once immersed in the quench tank, enabling users to collect more data during the critical quench process. The manufacturer offers complete profiling systems including software, thermocouples, and a line-up of low-height thermal barriers that protect the electronics for 5 to 20 hours. To keep the data logger from heating above its 100 °C max. operating temperature, the thermal barrier is filled with water, which partly boils off in the first heating cycle. Illustration: The new 10-channel and 20-channel loggers gather detailed temperature profiles in aluminum solution reheat processes of up to 20 hours The water reservoir is replenished when the profiler is immersed in the quench tank along with the products, thus providing ample protection in the age hardening stage. Featuring low heights between 160 mm (5-hour model) and 321 mm (19- and 20-hour models), the barriers can be used even in furnaces with very low clearances. Due to the innovative combination of insulation technologies, the barriers can be re-used instantly after a measurement run. The loggers can execute up to ten consecutive measurement runs before data download via Bluetooth or USB. The DATAPAQ Insight software enables comfortable analysis of the temperature profiles and generates ISO9000 and CQI-9 reports if required. All systems can be combined with wireless telemetry technology for real-time transmission of temperature data, allowing for instant analysis and adjustment of process parameters. Fluke Proce
