CARBON PROBE / CARBON SENSOR FOR HEAT TREATING

 

 ACCUCARB® ADVANCED


The Accucarb® Advanced is a new generation AccuCarb® brand probe from Furnace Control and is suitable for use in the most arduous atmospheres and temperatures. It is electrically and mechanically compatible for direct replacement of its predecessor the AccuCarb®, which makes installation easy and hassle-free.

AccuCarb® Advanced features the patented QuickBurn™ technology for fast and efficient electrode burn-off that extends service life while improving accuracy. The probe is also specially designed for thermal toughness and can be installed and removed from a hot furnace in one-quarter of the time of conventional carbon sensors.

Awarded Multi Patents
  • U.S. Patent No.4,588,493

  • European Patent Specification Number
    0 176 313 B1 United Kingdom, Belgium, France, Germany, and Italy

  • Japanese Letters Patent No. 2007432

  • U.S. and foreign Patents Pending “QuickBurn” purge system


ACCURACY
In a multiple probe installation, the AccuCarb® Advanced carbon probe was determined to be more accurate, by carbon shim analysis, than other commercially available probes.

The accuracy of any carbon probe depends upon many factors. Three of the most important requirements are:

  1. The electrodes must not impede the flow of the atmosphere to the electrode-electrolyte interface.

  2. The electrodes must act as reversible oxygen electrodes.

  3. the electrodes must not alter the composition of the gas.

Compare other probes to the AccuCarb® Advanced and ask yourself, "How is this carburizing gas getting to the electrode-zirconia electrolyte interface?"

TOUGHNESS
Accuracy is only good if a probe can withstand the toughest of environments. Frequent probe replacement or service simply costs the customer money. With QuickBurn™ technology, the AccuCarb® Advanced can be cleaned in mere seconds with no threat of damage. Furthermore, its advanced design makes it thermally and mechanically tougher than traditional first and second generation probes meaning it can be installed and removed quickly.

SERVICE LIFE
In conventional probes the two most common modes of failure are electrode and leadwire failure. The AccuCarb® Advanced probe uses a patented heat resistant alloy electrode welded to a metal sheath, which acts as a leadwire. Failure of these components is virtually eliminated.

COST
By replacing precious metals used in conventional probes with heat resistant metal alloys, by simple and effective design, the purchase price is lowered and performance is significantly improved. Low initial purchase price, 1 year use warranty, rugged construction and rebuildable features result in significant savings

Special Features

  1. Type K sheathed thermocouple standard at no charge.
  2. Adjustable insertion depth allows one probe to fit ALL furnaces. This reduces your replacement parts inventory.
  3. Any 1” (25 mm) NPT pipe thread can be used to mount the probe in a furnace wall.
  4. The AccuCarb® Advanced carbon probe has a 12-month usage warranty. After the warranty period, the probe can be rebuilt at a competitive fixed price.

COMPATIBILITY
Designed to easily replace original AccuCarb® installations and other "first generation" probes in existing systems.

WARRANTY

  • The AccuCarb® Advanced is warranted for a period of 12 months from the time of installation.
  • 24-hour service turnaround is guaranteed for all warranty repairs.
  • Probe failure analysis is available upon request.
