Instrumentation Type
In addition to classification, AMS 2750 also uses Instrumentation Type to determine a furnace’s
mandatory testing schedule. Instrumentation type can be look at as the number of sensors
used for control/recording in a furnace. All of these sensors, controls, and recording systems
have strict accuracy requirements and calibration intervals. The five instrumentation types (A-
E) are defined clearly within the specification (see figure 3 for a sample).
Testing Intervals
Put together, furnace classification and instrument type clearly determine the testing schedule
necessary for your furnace in order to maintain certification. So, for example (See Fig. 4) a
Class 2 Furnace with Instrumentation Type B is required to undergo a TUS on a monthly basis,
whereas a Class 5 Furnace with Instrumentation Type B only requires a quarterly TUS.
