Nadcap is developed by the Functional Review Institute (PRI) and provides an officially certified quality assurance system for a range of special processes and products. These products are used in the aerospace industry. It was first proposed by Boeing and is now adopted by Western aerospace manufacturers.
Nadcap is becoming increasingly important in the aerospace industry and has been recognized by relevant units such as GE Aviation, Rolls Royce, Mortimer, Snecma, French Tebomeca, Boeing, Walter Aircraft Industries, Bombardier, Honeywell, Hamilton Sundstrand, and Sikorsky Aircraft Company. Equipment manufacturers and end-users must comply with the requirements of SAE AMS 2750F. According to this standard, ovens and industrial furnaces are defined for temperature uniformity and control instrument types.
Carbolite Gero has accumulated a wealth of experience in the aviation industry, providing users with various solutions that meet their needsAMS2750F、CQI-9Standard ovens and industrial furnaces.
Equipment that meets the AMS2750F standard must specify the following requirements:
- temperature range
- Temperature uniformity requirements or grades: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (see below for details)
- Temperature instruments or types: A, B, C, D, D+, E (see below for details)
- Average temperature zone size - H x W x D
- Temperature uniformity test (TUS) requirements: loaded or empty furnace
- System Accuracy (SAT) Requirements
Classification of Nadcap system levels for ovens/muffle furnaces
grade | Temperature uniformity |
1 | ± 3°C |
2 | ± 5 °C / ± 6 °C |
3 | ± 7 °C / ± 8 °C |
4 | ± 10°C |
5 | ± 14°C |
6 | ± 28°C |
For Class 1 furnaces, the temperature uniformity is ± 3 ° C, and the volume of the oven chamber is much larger than that of the uniform temperature zone. If the volume of the uniform temperature zone is 600 mm x 600 mm x 600 mm, the recommended furnace volume is at least 800 mm x 800 mm x 800 mm
Nadcap instrument type
The types of control instruments are divided into A, B, C, D, D+, or E. The differences between them are shown in the table below, as well as the instrument serial numbers used to record their data and the recording thermocouples installed in the temperature equalization zone.
