16、lab ordeleterious contamination by the furnace environment. Metaltemperature shall be monitored and controlled to not exceedthe maximum temperature shown in Table 1 prior to hotrolling.NOTE 1Some aspects of the metallurgical structure of the alloy aftersolution heat treatment are influenced by the t

17、hermal characteristics of theheating equipment used, and the starting microstructure of the ingot. Someheating equipment achieves very rapid temperature rise and may requirethe metal to be soaked for a period to ensure that sufficient applicablealloying elements are taken into solid solution. This s

Table3 shows preheat/homogenizing furnace temperature tolerance.4.2 The hot rolling and quench equipment and controls shallbe adequate to ensure that ingots are capable of being hot rolledin accordance wi

The noncontactsensor must read within

24、 6 2F 6 1C of the contact pyrom-etry system; if not, the noncontact sensor system must beadjusted to read within the stated tolerance or an offset inoperation must be used to account for the variation and maythen be used for production.5.2 Temperature Measuring System Accuracy Test (SAT) forContact

25、Systems:5.2.1 SATThe accuracy of temperature measuring sys-tem(s) shall be tested under operating conditions at least onceduring each week that the facility is used. The test should bemade by placing a calibrated test temperature sensing element(5.3) to make contact with the surface (ingot, hot roll

26、ed slab orplate) being measured within 3 in. 75 mm of the systemssensing element and reading the test temperature sensingelement with a calibrated test potentiometer (see Note 2). Thecontact system must read within 6 2F 6 1C of the testinstrument. If not, the contact system shall be calibrated to re

43、emperature appropriate for thealloy and shall not exceed the maximum temperatures listed inTable 1 (see Note 4). Table 3 shows the maximum allowablepreheat/homogenizing furnace temperature tolerance. If a re-mote temperature sensing system is used and has a known errorwhich exceeds 6 2F 1C, then the
