Referthermo : Ceramic Thermal History Measurement Sensor produced

Product Catalog

Introduce product information, spec and usage of Referthermo

Refethermo is used for any firing process where quality control is strictly required and/or high temperature heat treatment process such as fine ceramics, sanitary ware, pottery, porcelain and so on.



Referthermo is a standard reference material with highly precise material composition, granularity and compact density, used for controlling the condition of the firing process within the kiln.
Ceramics is known to be a material similar to pottery and is now widely used as an industrial product in various circumstances of the industrial world. Over the years, ceramics developed in both the extent of its use as well as the quality and reliability, increasing the need of an improved quality control under high temperature firing process.
Firing process is typically controlled by monitoring the thermal profile, but in most cases the actual thermal history of the products in the kiln varies depending on many factors such as the type of kiln and/or the heat capacity.
Referthermo enables to verify the thermal uniformity of the firing process by simply measuring the dimensional change after heating it along with the product being manufactured.
Referthermo provides five different types to cover various temperature ranges between 600Deg.C and 1700Deg.C.

5 Purposes and Applications Purposes Applications ◇Managing the firing processes to arrive at the optimal product quality and to assess the thermal performance and characteristics of a kiln ◇Determine the optimal run on parameters, such as temperature profile, control of a kiln, Process control & shelf layout and the performance evaluation of the kiln parts Optimization ◇Monitoring the firing processes ◇Determine differences in load capacity of the kiln ◇Determine differences in the thermal characteristics whenever a new product or process has to be introduced, or after maintenance of kilns Trouble shooting / ◇Monitoring the thermal performance of the kiln Detecting Abnormality ◇Failure evaluation of the kiln parts ◇Failure evaluation of the heat core or thermo-couples Yield improvement ◇Fine-tuning of the process settings ◇Optimization of the energy consumption Improvement of product ◇Quality control can be reduced as a start and may eventually be reduced further to quality sampling level only or even abandoned completely. ◇The number of products can be reduced in inspection. It may finally lead to elimination of Reduction of inspection the product testing completely. time & costs ◇The sampling rate may be reduced to a bare minimum, reducing the inspection effort to a minimum. Quality Assurance ◇ Can be described as a method of statistic quality control in Xbar-R chart ©Copyright Bond Bros.Co., Ltd. inc. All Rights reserved.

6 Fundamental principle of Referthermo & How to use • Referthermo is obtained by being pressed in the predetermined shape with ceramic powders such as alumina. As well as a common ceramics, when heat treatment is given, it is going to shrink and dense, and finally become dense ceramics. • The dimension can be measured with a micrometer as shown below chart#1. ( * Please note that it should be measured after being left at room temperature more than a hour. ) • Referthermo is a practical reference material in which raw material composition, particle distribution, molding density and so on are strictly controlled, and is a thermal history measurement senor utilizing a phenomenon of shrink and dense with good reproducibility according to firing conditions and thermal history.

7 Effective use of the calculating table 1. The table sheet is made in use of temperature profile at 200Deg.C/hour rising, 2 hours retention and 300Deg.C/hour falling. 2. The index temperature is different from the actual temperature because of the different temperature profiles. 3. If you want to use the actual temperature as a index, you have to make your own table sheet by using your temperature profile so that you can make further accurate process control in your firing process. 4. Further, you can use the difference between actual temperature and index temperature as a corrective value of the temperature if you use it in narrow range. ©Copyright Bond Bros.Co., Ltd. inc.

9 Operating Temperature Range by TYPE OPERATING SERIES TYPE TEMPERATURE TOLERANCE RANGE RT H 1400~1700℃ ±10℃ RT M 1200~1500℃ ±10℃ RT L 1050~1300℃ ±10℃ RT L1 800~1150℃ ±15℃ RT L2 600~900℃ ±15℃ n How to select an appropriate TYPE * The TYPE is sometimes failed to be selected at the operating temperature. • You can easily select a TYPE in the guideline of the above table if retention time is 2 hours in air atmosphere. For examples, you can select M-TYPE at 1350Deg.C, L-TYPE at 1150Deg.C, and in case of 1250Deg.C, you can select an appropriate TYPE if you make sure which type is closer to the conversion chart in dimension by firing those two types together at your own firing conditions. • Next, if which longer or shorter in retention time than 2 hours, longer retention time shifts a TYPE to high temperature type and shorter retention time shifts to low temperature type. • Unless atmosphere is air, you have to ensure in advance testing at the conditions in consideration of the temperature and retention time. ©Copyright Bond Bros.Co., Ltd. inc.
