Annex M
(informative)
Qualification of heat-treating
equipment
M.1 General
All heat treatment of parts, QTCs and
TCs shall be performed with equipment
meeting the requirements of thisannex.
M.2 Temperature tolerance
The temperature at any point in the working
zone shall not vary by more than
±
 14 °C (25 °F) from the furnaceset-point
temperature after the furnace working zone
has been brought up to temperature.
Furnaces which areused for tempering,
ageing and/or stress-relieving shall not vary
by more than
±
8 °C (15 °F) from the furnace set-point
temperature after the furnace working zone
has been brought up to temperature.
M.3 Furnace calibration
M.3.1 General
Heat treatment of production parts shall be
performed with heat-treating equipment that
has been calibrated andsurveyed.
M.3.2 Records
Records of furnace calibration and surveys
shall be maintained for a period of not less
than two years.
M.3.3 Temperature survey method for
calibration of batch-type furnaces
A temperature survey within the furnace
working zone(s) shall be performed on each
furnace at the maximum andminimum
temperatures for which each furnace is
being used. A minimum of
nine thermocouple test locations shall
be used for all furnaces having a working
zone greater than0,3 m
3
(10 ft
3
).For each 3,5 m
3
(125 ft
3
) of furnace working zone surveyed, at least
one thermocouple test location shall be
used,up to a maximum of 40
thermocouples. See Figures M.1 and M.2
for examples of thermocouple [Link]
furnaces having a working zone less than
0,3 m
3
(10 ft
3
), the temperature survey may be made
with aminimum of three thermocouples
located either at the front, centre and rear,
or at the top, centre and bottom ofthe
furnace working zone. After insertion of the
temperature-sensing devices, readings
shall be taken at least once every 3 min to
determinewhen the temperature of the
furnace working zone approaches the
bottom of the temperature range
[Link] the furnace
temperature has reached the set-point
temperature, the temperature of all test
locations shall berecorded at 2 min
intervals, maximum, for at least 10 min.
Then, readings shall be taken at 5 min
intervals,maximum, for sufficient time (at
least 30 min) to determine the recurrent
temperature pattern of the furnaceworking
zone.

Before the furnace set-point temperature is
reached, none of the temperature readings
shall exceed the set-pointtemperature by
more than 14 °C (25
°F). After the furnace control set-point temp
erature is reached, no temperature
reading shall vary beyond the limitsspecifie
d. The temperatures within each furnace
shall be surveyed within one year prior to
use of the furnace forheat treatment.

When a furnace is repaired or rebuilt, a new

temperature survey shall be carried
out before the furnace is used forheat
treatment.
M.3.4 Continuous-type furnaces
method
Furnaces used for continuous heat
treatment shall be calibrated in accordance
with procedures specified inSAE AMS-H-
6875.
M.4 Instruments
M.4.1 General
Automatic controlling and recording
instruments shall be [Link]
shall be located in the furnace working
zone(s) and protected from furnace
atmospheres bymeans of suitable
protective devices.
M.4.2 Accuracy
The controlling and recording instruments
used for the heat-treatment processes shall
be accurate to
±
1 % oftheir full-scale range.
M.4.3 Calibration
Temperature-controlling and -recording
instruments shall be calibrated at least once
every three [Link] used to
calibrate the production equipment shall be
accurate to
±
0,25 % of full-scale range.
