For the salt bath, the demonstration shall be conducted within the normal operating range of 850°F to 950°F and shall include verification of safety devices and interlocks, controlled heat-up, stable operation at temperature, and representative load disturbance and recovery. For the freezer, the demonstration shall include verification of protective functions, controlled cool-down to a representative operating setpoint, stable operation, and a representative load disturbance and recovery. For both systems, the Contractor shall verify continuous temperature recording with correct channel identification and time/date stamping and demonstrate the ability to retrieve and export recorded data. Upon completion, the Contractor shall perform a normal shutdown of each system and verify transition to a safe condition. The Contractor shall provide a brief operational test report documenting test conditions, recorded trends, alarm and interlock checks performed, and any deficiencies identified. Successful completion of this operational test shall demonstrate both systems are operationally ready for production use, subject to completion and acceptance of SAT and TUS requirements where applicable.

Performance Test. The equipment shall be tested in accordance with the agreed upon ATP referenced in paragraph 3.7.3. The equipment shall be tested in accordance with the applicable requirements of NFPA 86, Standard for Ovens and Furnaces, and SAE AMS 2750.

Temperature Uniformity Survey (TUS) and System Accuracy Test (SAT). The TUS and SAT shall comply with SAE AMS 2750, Pyrometry Section 3.3.1 for a Class 1 furnace. Contractor shall perform TUS and SAT at customer’s location. Detailed step-by-step instructions shall be provided to perform the TUS, SAT and to calibrate temperature instrumentation. Any ancillary equipment, fixtures etc. required to perform the TUS and SAT will be provided with the furnace.

Audible Noise Level Test. The equipment shall be tested for compliance with paragraph 3.1.4. “Audible Noise Level”.
