What is BS EN IEC 63078 about?
BS EN IEC 63078 specifies the test procedures, conditions, and methods for determining the main performance parameters and operational characteristics of induction through-heating installations.
BS EN IEC 63078 is applicable to the induction heating installations which through-heat the whole or part of metal billet or workpiece for its subsequent hot forming (e.g. forging, extruding and rolling), using low, mains or medium frequencies. It is possible to use it as a reference for other induction heating installations for heat-treatment and other purposes as well as superconducting DC induction through-heating installations
Note: Measurements and tests that are solely used for the verification of safety requirements of the installations are outside the scope of this document and are covered by BS EN IEC 60519-1 and BS EN IEC 60519-3.
Who is BS EN IEC 63078 for?
BS EN IEC 63078 on electroheating and electromagnetic processing is applicable to:
- Machine building
- Hardening
- Brazing
- Preheat and post heating
- Shrink-fitting
- Annealing
- Soldering
- Hot forming (e.g., forging, extruding, and rolling)
- For heating billets or workpieces of alloy steel, copper, and aluminium
Why should you use BS EN IEC 63078?
An induction through-heating installation is more complex than an induction melting furnace, as it includes more heating manners, varieties, and sizes. Performance tests in BS EN IEC 63078 are very useful for you to the determine the temperature homogeneity of billets and energy efficiency of the installation.
BS EN IEC 63078 provides you the guidelines for test procedures, conditions, and methods for determining overall performance of induction through-heating installations. This improves the performance and quality of industrial processes applied in induction through-heating applications.
BS EN IEC 63078 provide you the concept and material on energy efficiency dealing with the electrical and processing parts of the installations, as well as the overall performance. This helps you to reduce operating cost and increase the productivity of industrial processes applied in induction through-heating installations.
