Our Expertise
With decades of experience servicing and supplying vacuum furnaces, autoclaves, control systems, and associated systems, VFE's team of seasoned engineers is uniquely qualified to perform System Accuracy Tests and Thermal Surveys. Additionally, our ISO17025 / UKAS accredited laboratory (Laboratory no. 4338) provides confidence that we provide these services impartially and to the highest standards of competence.Our comprehensive approach covers various critical areas:
System Accuracy Tests
- In-situ comparison of installed process sensors (typically thermocouples) against reference standards to validate their continued accuracy.
- System Accuracy Tests are often required for compliance with manufacturing standards (such as AMS2750).
- Highly recommended for all ‘permanently installed’ sensors or pass-throughs as drift can easily go un-noticed, degrading your process.
Thermal Uniformity Surveys
- Temperature Mapping of thermal processing equipment; validating that the whole working space is meeting the temperature requirements for your products.
- Thermal Uniformity Surveys are often required for compliance with manufacturing standards (such as AMS2750).
- Highly recommended for any thermal processing equipment because changes in uniformity performance usually indicate degradation of the equipment, affecting either the process, energy efficiency, or both.
