AMS 2750D is referenced in the Pyrometry Section (Section 2.0) of the <strong>Process</strong> Tables. <strong>Heat</strong> treat suppliers<br />
are not required to comply to all sections of AMS 2750D. <strong>Heat</strong> treat suppliers shall comply to the sections<br />
of AMS 2750D that are given below. These sections reference thermocouples, the calibration of<br />
thermocouples and instrumentation, and the procedure for conducting furnace temperature uniformity<br />
surveys (TUS).<br />
Thermocouples and Instrumentation<br />
- Section 3.1 – Temperature Sensors (Thermocouples)<br />
- Section 3.2 – Instrumentation - Note: Frequency reductions per AMS 2750D are not<br />
allowed by <strong>CQI</strong>-9<br />
Compliance to the following sections in 3.2, are not required by <strong>CQI</strong>-9<br />
Section Number Explanation<br />
3.2.5.1 & 2 Temperature controlling instruments purchased prior to 1 year after<br />
the release of AMS 2750D are exempt of 3.2.5.1 and 3.2.5.2.<br />
3.2.5.3.1 One point sensor input is acceptable.<br />
3.2.5.5 Sensitivity checks during calibration are not required.

<strong>System</strong> Accuracy Test (SAT) Procedure (Section 3.4)<br />
NOTE: Refer to AMS 2750D as directed<br />
- SAT shall be performed by one of the two methods listed below:<br />
1) Probe Method: The temperature indication of the furnace control instrument connected to the<br />
control sensor (CS) shall be within +/- 5C (or +/- 10F) of the corrected temperature<br />
indication of the test sensor (TS) on a test instrument. This test shall be performed monthly<br />
at a typical operating temperature utilizing the procedures detailed in AMS 2750D Section<br />
3.4.4, <strong>System</strong> Accuracy Test Procedure.<br />
SAT Frequency:<br />
o Equipment operating at or above 760C (1400F) shall be checked monthly.<br />
o Equipment operating below 760C (1400F) shall be checked quarterly.<br />

2) Comparative Method: The relationship between the control system (sensor, leadwire, control<br />
instrument) and any other permanently installed monitoring system such as over temperature<br />
control system (sensor, leadwire, over temp instrument) or a load monitoring system (sensor,<br />
leadwire, recording instrument) etc. at the time of the most recent conforming instrument<br />
calibration test shall be established. This established relationship shall not differ by more<br />
than +/-1C (or +/-2F) when checked weekly at a typical operating temperature.<br />

temperature<br />
- Any actions to correct a failing reading or validate a test result shall be documented.<br />
- Control Sensors (CS) failing to meet the requirements of SAT method 1 shall be changed. A<br />
new TUS is not required unless the position of the control sensor changes. If new<br />
thermocouple(s) are required in Test method 2, a new relationship must be established.<br />
- Thermocouple Replacement Schedule:<br />
o Base metal sensors (e.g. Type K, N, J, E) thermocouples shall be changed when needed<br />
or annually at a minimum for equipment operating at or above 760C (1400F).<br />
o Base metal sensors (e.g. Type K, N, J, E) thermocouples shall be changed when needed<br />
or every two years at a minimum for equipment operating below 760C (1400F).<br />
o Noble metal sensors (e.g. Type R and S) thermocouples shall be changed when needed<br />
or every two years at a minimum for equipment operating at or above 760C (1400F).<br />
o Note: A new TUS is not required for any thermocouple replacement unless the position<br />
of the control sensor(CS) is changed (CS)
