SERVICE PROCESS
Our Thermal History Technology services are delivered through a series of stages. Each stage has a different purpose and general time period for completion associated. The timeline corresponds with SCS’ service processes and what occurs on a component’s journey. This process is carried out to enable the highest quality service for our clients.
APPLICATION DEFINITION
1-2 DAYS
- Define test conditions – The component and the environment it is operated in are established
- Determine most suitable solution – Select which Thermal History Technology to use and the duration of analysis appropriate
PAINT/COATING APPLIED
1-2 DAYS
- Masking – The component is masked to protect sensitive surfaces from the grit blasting and painting process
- Grit blasting – Components go through this to remove dirt and other impurities before paint/coating application
- Spraying – Thermal History Paint/Coating is applied to the component surface
INSTALLATION AND TESTING
DEPENDANT ON CUSTOMER
- Test planning – Client determines the method which is most appropriate to test the components
- Test preparation – The test environment is set up for the operation of the equipment
- Operation of equipment – Clients are given back the component(s), where they are placed back in normal operation for a designated period of time
MEASUREMENT
1-2 WEEKS
- Record luminescence data – SCS Instrumentation is used to measure the luminescent properties across the component surface
DATA REDUCTION AND REPORTING
2-3 WEEKS
- Calibration of paint/coating – Calibration data is generated to convert the luminescent data to temperature values
- Report results – The data is converted to temperature and reduced, to give clients clear results and conclusions of the thermal measurement process
