Thermal Profiling

温度プロファイリングは、コンベア式あるいはバッチ式プロセス（一般的にはオーブンや炉）を通過する製品の温度を記録・評価する作業です。収集した数値データを温度分析ソフトウェアによって、有意な情報へと変換するとともにグラフ―温度プロファイル―として表示します。

Heat treatment involves the use of heating or chilling to achieve a desired result, such as hardening or softening of a material. For aerospace and automotive heat treatment, the temperature tolerance of a furnace is assessed by undertaking a Temperature Uniformity Survey (TUS), which is essential for CQI-9 and AMS 2750 quality control standards.

When coatings are applied, for aesthetic or functional reasons, to a manufactured product a critical step is that of curing the coating. In either a batch or continuous oven the requirement is to raise the product mass and its coating material to a specified temperature and hold this temperature for a set time. Typical process times are designed to achieve 25 to 35 minutes at the threshold temperature to ensure a minimum time at the curing temperature of 20 minutes.

The benefits of cooking food are well documented to include among others, improved flavor, palatability, texture, shelf life and more recently reduced preparation time in the home. Food processors worldwide increasingly focus on the supply of ready cooked products in order to add value to the product and so maximize market appeal.

熱を伴うプロセスは広範な産業分野で、幅広い製品の性能・品質・安全性を支えています。プロセスは、塗装硬化やはんだ付け、材料の熱処理から、食品加工や陶磁器の焼成まで非常に様々です。

熱電対は、あらゆるセンサのかなで最もシンプルなセンサの一つであり、丈夫かつ低コストなため産業用途での利用に最適です。
