What is the significant advantage of TempTABs?
AThe significant advantage of the TempTAB is the frequency at which you can evaluate your thermal process without any interruption of production schedules and with minimal effort. Even though Orton does not recommend using the TempTAB to confirm actual furnace control temperature, any change in the recorded “TempTAB temperature” will indicate the actual difference in temperature at any location between the two surveys. Therefore if the TempTAB temperature indicates a significant change in temperature, you can be assured there has been a change in furnace conditions. Of course if the TempTAB indicates no significant change in the recorded temperature, then you can be confident the furnace is operating as it was during the benchmarking run.
