In the high temperature metal and glass heat treatment industry, the importance of obtaining accurate temperatures of the product and its environment to the quality of the finished product cannot be overemphasized. Profile testing can also help eliminate costly rework and scrap, and maximize product yield while minimizing costs.
To meet very specific application requirements, Furnace Tracker® systems can consist of data loggers, protective thermal barriers and thermocouples, and use Insight™ curve software for data storage and analysis. Used in conjunction with the TM21 Radio Telemetry System, Datapaq® provides a complete temperature profiling system for real-time data analysis. With the Furnace Tracker system, you can measure and generate reports to meet regulatory requirements such as AMS2750E and NADCAP.
Datapaq is a leader in the design and manufacture of temperature profiling systems, known for its stability, accuracy and rugged design to withstand the harshest environments in demanding heat treating processes.

Specifically designed for the steel industry, the Datapaq Furnace Tracker system offers a range of solutions to meet the needs of primary and intermediate steel heat treatment applications. A "phase change" insulation system designed by Datapaq keeps the data logger at a stable operating temperature, even when the furnace temperature exceeds 1300°C/2372°F. Common areas for Datapaq temperature profiling systems include:
Spring steel hardened and tempered
Reheating: Ingots and billets
Annealing: steel plate, steel pipe, steel lamination, cast steel gear blank, bright annealing
glazed glass
Homogenization of steel pipe
Vacuum carburizing furnace measurement
In the glass industry, the importance of consistent temperature on the annealing zone during annealing and when decorating glass containers and crystal tableware cannot be overemphasized. Analysis using a Datapaq system ensures that annealing point times and cooling rates meet specifications for the following applications:
Annealing of glass containers and crystal products
Automotive Glass Forming
TV picture tube fusion sealing
Annealing and blackening of shadow mask of TV picture tube
Annealing of headlight and spotlight bulbs
