PTCR

Optimised quality assurance by process temperature control rings

The process temperature control rings PTCR monitor and document furnace conditions. In addition to the pure temperature influences, among others different sintering/firing conditions that may occur in a kiln/furnace such as heat sinks, temperature gradients, gas flow, heat transfer coefficient, kiln/furnace setting are considered. PTCR can be placed anywhere in the furnace and will take up the entire absorbed radiation, convection and contact heat. Their energy-dependent size change then permits precise documentation of the heat input across the entire firing process. This way, PTCR ensure sustainable and secured quality standards and best reproducibility of your thermal processes.

Your benefits with PTCR:

• MORE PRECISE than conventional measuring methods
• SIMPLER in handling
• COST-EFFICIENT in procurement

SCHUPP^® Ceramics offer eight ring types for different temperature ranges:
