It defin
11、es the terms used herein and describes the test procedures and requirements for mandatory tests of heat treatment facilities. It also serves as an aid in the surveillance and approval of heat treatment facilities. This standard applies to all types of heat treatment facilities, including those using
12、 direct or indirect heat transfer and liquid or gaseous heating media, with our without circulation, and to vacuum furnaces. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For und
13、ated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. IEC 584-2, Thermocouples Part 2: Tolerances 1)3 General The heat treatment of metallic materials produces specific material properties only if performed within relatively narrow temperature ranges, the
14、 respective tolerances of which are specified in the applicable standards. A heat treatment facility can therefore be used for a heat-treating operation only provided its temperature variations over space and time remain within the specified temperature tolerance. Proper temperature distribution in
15、the heat treatment facility depends on e.g. the type of furnace or bath, the heating medium, the control instruments with their feedback and run-up circuitry, and the rigging and positioning of control sensors. A suitable recording instrument is needed to properly monitor and document the heat treat

25、t treatment facility requirements 5.1 General Heat treatment facilities shall be capable of satisfying the requirements of the heat treatment process to be applied. Heat treatment facilities as defined in Clause 1 shall be approved prior to their release for production heat treatment and shall be su
26、bjected to periodic in-service checks. Approval and periodic checks shall be performed by the responsible company quality assurance, facilities support and calibration activities. Approval and periodic checks shall be in conformance with the requirements of Clause 6. In the case of safety tests, the
27、 competent specialist department shall be consulted. The test results shall be reported by the competent specialist department and filed with the heat treatment facility records. 5.2 Category classification A heat treatment facility may fall within several categories if designed to operate in differ

32、ure sensors, ready accessibility of equipment, concurrent readouts from facility instrumentation and independent test instrumentation). prEN 4268:2010 (E) 11 Testing shall invariably be performed using independent test instruments. 6.2 Test instruments The accuracy of test instruments shall be at le
33、ast equivalent to or better than that of the facility working instruments. Test instrument deviations shall be known. Test instruments shall likewise be subjected to periodic checks. The working instruments are calibrated against the test instruments, which are themselves calibrated against chains o
34、f standard instruments traceable to standards maintained by internationally recognized standards organizations, responsible for establishing National Standards. Test instruments shall be checked at a frequency of every 3 months, 6 months or 12 months or as specified by the manufacturer. In the case
35、of temperature sensors (thermocouples), the frequency also depends on the thermocouple wire diameter, service time, temperature level and heating medium. 6.3 Test frequency The time interval between tests is governed by so-called “dynamic test frequencies“, where k = reduced frequency; n = normal fr
36、equency; l = extended frequency. The first test following acceptance, repair, alteration or relocation of the facility shall be made at frequency “k“, tests thereafter at frequency “n“. If no anomalies are found in three consecutive tests, the frequency requirement may be changed to “l“. When irregu
37、larities or deviations are found in operation or use, the frequency shall again revert to “k“. 6.4 Extent of testing Tests are classified into: a) Category I - accuracy test; b) Category II - temperature uniformity test; c) Category III - instrument test. Testing required for acceptance or subsequen
38、t to relocation: a) Categories I, II, III. Testing required upon alteration or repair, depending on the type and extent of the rework: b) Categories I, II and/or III. 6.5 Test procedures 6.5.1 Accuracy test (V) and test frequency (TV) Accuracy testing involves checking a heat treatment facilitys cha
39、in of validly indicating and recording temperature instruments against a reference chain installed for calibration purposes. The reference sensor shall be located as close as possible to the facilitys recording sensor. prEN 4268:2010 (E) 12 The permissible temperature variations and the test frequen

43、 treatment facility or the heating medium at frequencies as given in Table 7. The survey can be made optionally with or without production load. With no production load being present, care shall be taken to ensure that the temperature distribution pattern is affected as little as possible by any sup
44、port device necessary for the thermocouples. The temperature measurements shall be taken after the furnace or bath has reached thermal equilibrium. The duration of the measurement shall be selected so that the results provide conclusive evidence of temperature uniformity. Also the time intervals dur
45、ing a measurement shall be selected such that the temperature minima and maxima, depending on the closed-loop oscillations, are sensed. prEN 4268:2010 (E) 13 Table 7 Temperature uniformity test frequency (TT) Working temperature range Category Code number C A B C D 03 300 07 300 700 10 700 1 000 13

47、egularly distributed in the effective working volume, as far as possible. a) Attach the thermocouples to the rack or the production load. b) Load the rack or production load into the effective working volume. c) Heat the effective working volume to test temperature and keep the control setting const
48、ant thereafter. d) Start measurement after thermal equilibrium has been reached. e) Thereafter, record the test locations at intervals of at least two closed-loop oscillations, recording the temperature minima and maxima. f) Record and read the temperature on an independent recorder. 6.5.2.3 Salt ba
49、th temperature uniformity survey The temperature uniformity in salt baths is determined by using a temperature sensor enclosed in a suitable protection tube. The temperature sensor is held in one position until thermal equilibrium has been reached and a reading made. The temperature sensor shall then be placed in a new location an
