Maintenance of Vacuum Heat Treating Furnaces
Inspect and wipe clean this seal each time the door is opened after a furnace cycle. On "O" ring seals look for cracks, lack of elasticity, flat spots, dirt, and metallic fines. Wipe the door "O" ring and flange with a clean "lint-free" rag before closing the door. Reapply a thin coating of vacuum grease as necessary.

Troubleshooting Thermocouple Failures in High-Temperature Applications
When a thermocouple fails in your control system, bad things happen. The impact may be minimal, or it can mean hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost product or delayed production. Just the fact that you have to shut down and replace a thermocouple means lost revenue. So, when you lose a temperature sensor – like a thermocouple – …

Why would carbon build up on a thermocouple in a vacuum furnace?
Carbon can build up on a thermocouple in a vacuum furnace due to the presence of hydrocarbons in the furnace atmosphere. When hydrocarbons are present, they can decompose at high temperatures and release carbon. This carbon can then deposit on the surface of the thermocouple, leading to a buildup over time.

Thermal Profiling Solutions for Vacuum Annealing
Instead of thermocouples trailing, a datalogger travels through the furnace with the product. The datalogger is protected by a structure called a thermal barrier, which keeps the temperature of the logger at a safe operating level. For example, just because a vacuum furnace is set to 500 °C does not mean that the entire chamber is at 500 °C.
