Heat Protection Range for Temperature Profiling in Paint Operations: Robust Results Ensured he new DATAPAQ EasyTrack3 temperature profiling system from Fluke Process Instruments addresses the needs of any paint or powder coating operation. A comprehensive range of thermal barriers protects the data logger with its non-volatile memory in infrared and convection ovens. The light-weight aluminum standard barrier shields the electronics for up to 2 hours at 200°C. Thermal protection 1 is ensured by high-performance Figure 1: The DATAPAQ EasyTrack3 program comprises equipment for temperature profiling in PTFE and Dacromet coating, microporous insulation IR and convection ovens, and low-clearance mesh belt ovens. and a heat sink.
