Pyrometry & TUS

Temperature Uniformity Surveys (TUS) are a critical requirement for aerospace, automotive, and defence heat treatment operations. We carry out TUS work to AMS 2750 and CQI-9 standards using calibrated equipment and documented procedures. Our surveys provide the data you need to classify your furnaces and demonstrate compliance to your customers, auditors, and accreditation bodies including Nadcap.

In addition to TUS, we perform System Accuracy Tests (SAT) to verify the accuracy of your temperature measurement chain from thermocouple through to controller and recorder. We assess instrumentation types, verify calibration status, and identify any non-conformances that could affect your furnace classification. Thermocouple calibration is performed using traceable reference standards.

Our pyrometry reports are clear, thorough, and formatted to meet the documentation requirements of AMS 2750 and CQI-9 audits. We can advise on furnace classification, survey frequency, thermocouple types, and any corrective actions required to achieve or maintain compliance. For Nadcap-accredited facilities, we understand the specific requirements and can support you through the audit process.

Engineering Solutions

When your equipment underperforms or fails repeatedly, our engineers carry out thorough technical assessments to identify the root cause. We go beyond symptoms to understand the underlying engineering problem, whether it is a design limitation, a materials issue, a control system fault, or an operational factor. The result is a clear, costed proposal for an engineered solution that addresses the problem permanently.

Control system upgrades are a common requirement as equipment ages and original controllers become obsolete. We design and install modern PLC and HMI-based control systems, integrating temperature control, atmosphere management, safety interlocks, and data logging into a single platform. Upgrades can be phased to minimise downtime, and we provide full operator training and documentation.

Energy efficiency improvements deliver measurable cost savings and support environmental compliance. We assess insulation condition, burner efficiency, control strategy, and process scheduling to identify opportunities for reduction in energy consumption. Refractory relining and furnace rebuilds restore thermal performance and extend equipment life, and we manage these projects from survey through to recommissioning.
