BEFORE YOU BEGIN SAT
WITH C3
Automatic, mistake-free checklist preparation
WITHOUT C3
When are my SATs due and when should I schedule them?
Is my Standard (Field Test Instrument) calibrated for today?
Is my Standard calibrated for the temperatures I will be testing?
Is my Standard calibrated for the TC type(s) I will be using to test?
Is my Standard calibrated within the acceptable tolerances for each furnace?
Is/Are my test Sensor(s) calibrated for the temperatures I will be testing today?
Is/Are my test Sensor(s) expired (too many uses and/or days in use)?
When do I need to test each Qualified Operating Temperature Range (QOTR) before the annual requirement arrives?
DURING SAT
WITH C3
C3 Data’s SAT Module answers all of the questions for you in real-time
WITHOUT C3
Are there Offsets in the systems I’m testing, and if so, how do they apply to my tests?
Do I need to capture and document the insertion depth of my test sensor?
Is the insertion depth of my test sensor allowed?
What is the Sensor Correction Factor for this SAT
What is the Standard Correction Factor for this SAT
Did my SAT Pass or Fail? Do I need to replace the Sensor under test?
AFTER SAT
WITH C3
Emailed report auto-sent to Quality
Quality adds notes and explanations for test interval extension to the C3 portal
New due date is established in the portal
Compliance may be observed in the Furnace Dashboard
WITHOUT C3
Quality needs to know that the report needs reviewed
Quality needs to review the report and add any notes and explanations for test interval extension as needed, and keep track of multiple timetables
Quality needs to establish new due dates and update schedules, then follow up to ensure adherence via a manual process
Low visibility on overall furnace compliance
Digital Thermocouple Integration: C3 Data's growing list of Thermocouple Integration Partners enables heat treaters and pyrometry labs to digitally access their chosen thermocouple suppliers' calibration database. In seconds, a digital copy of all thermocouple calibration data and a PDF of the certificate are instantly entered into the heat treater or pyrometry lab's C3 Data account.
17025 Accredited Lab Integration: A growing list of C3-integrated Calibration Laboratories use the C3 Data to calibrate their customers' FTIs (Field Test Instruments). The calibration results of the FTI can flow seamlessly into the heat treater’s C3 Data account free from human error, allowing for an unmatched level of collaboration between the lab and the heat treater.
Collaboration between accredited pyrometry labs and heat treaters can optionally extend to enable the lab to use C3’s CAL Module and/or TUS Module to perform tests on behalf of the heat treater. These reports flow seamlessly and instantly from the pyrometry lab to the heat treater within the C3 Data system. All your compliance documentation resides in one place, regardless of who does the work (heat treater, pyrometry lab, or both). All your compliance documentation resides in one place, regardless of who does the work (heat treater, pyrometry lab, or both).
Compliance Dashboard: Your C3 Dashboard monitors all pyrometry-related activities and provides a real-time visual compliance status of all furnaces in your plant. At a glance, Quality Managers and Furnace Technicians know what pyrometry activities are required and when. Furnace Operators always know in real time which furnaces are compliant, and which are not.
