The Sigma Therm is an inverter based preheating and post weld heat treatment unit especially for tubes and pipes. Depending on the size of the pipe, one or two units are used. Induction coils are placed on both the sides of the welding seam.
Induction Heating
- It is Clean, green and safest ways to pre/post weld heat treatment.
- Induction heating induces the heat directly into the metal, the heat is not conducted..
- It has a very quick setup time and can preheat much faster than gas fired or conducted heating methods.
- It saves time.
Heating Elements/ Induction Coil
Induction coils with maximum length of 50 meters can be connected to one power source. Induction coils are in ready to use lengths in multiples of 5 meters. When using induction coils for pre heating, it is wrapped around the job with or without any insulation protection. The coil can be protected against welding spatter with insulation cloth / blanket. When doing post weld heat treatment, the job must first be insulated with 20 mm thick ceramic blanket after which the coil is wrapped around the pipe.
Digital Control System
PLC based system with touch screen HMI controls the Sigma therm to get the desired temperature profile. The advanced logic control helps to achieve the accurate heating temperaturerate and maintain the cycle as desired. The heating cycle canbe programmed to ensure correct heating rate (Degree C / HR),soaking temperature and soaking time, cooling ramp rate andcooling time. There are preset programs and any new heatingcycle can be easily customized.
Temperature Measurement and Recording
Temperature is constantly monitored with a thermocouple. If needed, the temperature can be recorded in soft format or temperature chart can be printed. Upto 6 thermo couples can be interfaced with the recorder. The temperature can be recorded, graphed and printed for reach cycle.
