16、occurs.6. Autoclave Type/Qualification6.1 Autoclave shall consist of inert gas pressurization,internally heated cold wall pressure vessel type.6.2 Unless otherwise specified, the selection and type ofinert gas shall be at the discretion of the HIP processor.6.3 When argon is used, the gas emanating
17、from theautoclave prior to hot isostatic pressing shall be a minimum of99.98% by volume (200 ppm total impurities) as determined byonline gas analysis and shall not exceed the requirementsspecified in Table 1.6.4 When a gas other than argon is used, the type and puritylevel shall be agreed upon by t
18、he purchaser and supplier priorto processing.7. Temperature Uniformity7.1 A temperature uniformity survey shall be conducted at a6 month maximum interval on each HIP unit using a typicalproduction load of parts or material under typical operatingparameters.7.2 Aminimum of two thermocouples for each
19、heating zonein the working volume of the HIP unit shall be used fordetermining temperature uniformity, one positioned at thecenterline and the other at the outside diameter of the heatingzone. More than two thermocouples may be used if desired.7.3 For production HIP cycles, when approaching thermale
20、quilibrium none of the load monitoring thermocouple read-ings shall exceed the selected control temperature by more thanthe allowable tolerance as specified by the purchaser. Afterreaching thermal equilibrium temperature variation of any loadmonitoring thermocouple shall not vary more than the allow
