OVERVIEW
Datapaq® Furnace Tracker Systems
For metal heat treatment industries, measuring both product temperature and its environment is critical to ensure both product quality and process efficiency, which is why Fluke Process Instruments has designed the most robust, sophisticated furnace profiling systems. From data loggers and thermal barriers to intuitive software data analysis and reporting, we have everything users need to profile their process, no matter how challenging.
The Datapaq Furnace Tracker System is designed to be used repeatedly, in-process in the most hostile manufacturing environments, while still providing accurate and reliable through-process temperature surveys. Each system can help users improve performance and system accuracy, decrease downtime, reduce TUS reporting times and more.
Manufactured with a 316-grade, stainless-steel case, the Datapaq TP6 is available with 10 or 20 thermocouple channels. The data logger is also fully waterproof (IP67 rated) and equipped with Bluetooth communication to make system setup quick and easy from either a PC or mobile device. Additional features are highlighted for specific products below.
The ideal thermal barrier for high-temperature heat treatment processes is a critical step in improving users’ through-process profiling capabilities. Fluke Process Instruments offers an extensive range of thermal barriers that have been designed to provide maximum thermal protection – including in applications like vacuum and controlled atmosphere, slab reheat and solution aging, among others, with new sealed quench designs.
Datapaq Furnace Tracker Systems are designed for reliable and accurate in-process temperature surveys, as well as to meet specific process requirements in the most intense manufacturing environments. Unravel the mysteries of your process. Find your profiling system.

Furnace Tracker Systems that include thermal barriers from the Datapaq TB40 Series are designed for use in conveyorized or batch furnaces, operated up to 800°C (1472°F). For processes at higher temperatures, the Datapaq TB49 Series features floating plate technology and more exotic materials, which enable use up to 1050°C (1922°F).
Datapaq® Furnace Tracker Vacuum Heat Treatment
The most robust thermal barrier series for high temperature thermal profiling
The Datapaq Vacuum Heat Treatment System from Fluke Process Instruments features the Datapaq TP6 data logger, choice of thermal barrier (TB45 or TB46), thermocouples and our intuitive Insight™ software to create a complete solution.
The Furnace Tracker Systems that include the Datapaq TB45 series of thermal barriers can operate in temperatures up to 1050°C (1922°F) and the TB46 series can withstand temperatures of up to 1200°C (2192°F). Both are designed for use in vacuum and carburizing applications and can operate in pressures up to 20 Bar (290 PSi).
Datapaq® Furnace Tracker Sealed Quench System
The easiest to use quenchable barriers for aluminum solution heat treatment
The Furnace Tracker Sealed Quench Systems from Fluke Process instruments feature the Datapaq TP6 data logger, a sealed & quenchable thermal barriers from the SQ00 range, thermocouples and our intuitive Insight™ software to create a complete solution.
This system is designed specifically for the aluminum solution heat treatment process. The system features a fully sealed design incorporating a pressure relief system, which allows for the most efficient insulation and enables the system to travel through every stage of your process. It can also be used in other solution heat treatment processes up to 900°C (1652°F) such as that for Titanium.
Datapaq® Furnace Tracker Temperature Uniformity Survey Systems
Confirm your furnace is in compliance with the latest AMS2750 and CQI-9 standards
The Datapaq Furnace Tracker Temperature Uniformity Survey (TUS) System from Fluke Process Instruments features the choice of data logger (TP6 or XDL12), choice of thermal barrier (TB45 or TB46), thermocouples and our intuitive Temperature Uniformity Survey (TUS) Insight™ Software package to perform accurate in-process product thermal profiling while verifying conformity to all required specifications, including the AMS2750 standard.
Datapaq® Furnace Tracker for Controlled Atmosphere and Vacuum Brazing
The most robust thermal profiling solutions for every aluminum brazing process.
The Controlled Atmosphere Brazing (CAB) and Vacuum Furnace Tracker Systems from Fluke Process Instruments feature the Datapaq TP6 data logger, a reflective or sealed for CAB thermal barrier, thermocouples and our intuitive Insight™ Software to create a complete solution.
The CAB Furnace Tracker Systems featuring the TB4000 & TB4002 thermal barriers operate in environments up to 800°C (1472°F) and are designed for frequent use in the aggressive atmosphere present in this process.
The Vacuum Brazing Furnace Tracker Systems, which include the VB1150 & VB1151 thermal barriers, make use of reflective plate technology to eliminate the need for insulation and ensure that out-gassing from the system is minimized so production is not disrupted when profiling.
Both systems can be used to conduct temperature uniformity surveys (TUS) in compliance with CQI 29.
Datapaq® Furnace Tracker for Slab and Billet Reheat Process
Accurately measure temperature uniformity throughout the entire reheat process
The Datapaq Furnace Tracker System from Fluke Process Instruments features the Datapaq TP6 data logger, choice of phased evaporative thermal barriers, thermocouples, and our intuitive Insight™ Software to create a complete profiling solution. Each furnace tracker can be detailed to fit into a cut out of the slab or, if height permits, they can be placed on the slab. Meanwhile, systems for billet profiling are designed to mount to the end of the billet.
Datapaq® Furnace Tracker Rotational Thermal Profiling Systems
Cylindrical thermal barriers for aluminum homogenizing and steel pipe heat treatment
