AMS2750F now addresses the assembly of the hot junction portion of thermocouples. It states that hot junctions may be made by twisting and/or welding or a combination of those, although no addition of filler metal may be used.

AMS2750F now presents a different definition of expendable versus nonexpendable thermocouples. As a thermocouple supplier, we feel it is important to keep our clients informed as to the details of these changes.
Our goal is to keep our clients up to date on the new changes to AMS2750. In today’s blog post, I’m discussing how AMS2750F now permits Type M and Type C thermocouples. It is important to understand the use and limitations of thermocouples prior to use.
When AMS2750 went from revision D to revision E, one of the changes was that ASTM E29 was required for rounding significant digits. Rounding using ASTM E29 is not your old spreadsheet version of rounding—more discretion is required.
AMS2750F now states that third party pyrometry service providers must have a quality system that is ISO/IEC 17025 accredited from an ILAC (International Laboratory Accreditation Corporation) recognized regional cooperation body by June 2022. This accreditation will apply to the laboratory standards and/or field service as applicable.
AMS2750F has arrived. With the industry having a limited amount of time to implement
the changes in full, Conrad Kacsik is working hard to keep our customers informed. Our
customers have depended on Conrad Kacsik to be their technical guide throughout the many changes AMS2750 has gone through and we are proud to be doing it again.
As a specialist in process controls, my company offers comprehensive temperature uniformity surveys. Through years of training operators and helping companies work on temperature uniformity survey procedures, I have found one of the sticking points in meeting compliance standards involves thermocouples.
Compliance verification is a foundation for a number of industry specifications, such as Nadcap and AMS2750E. Many people focus on following the right procedures and overlook the need to clearly account for all requirements in their internal procedures. When meeting industry standards, it’s imperative to not only capture all of the requirements but state them clearly and unambiguously within your procedures.
If you work in thermal processing in any way, it’s likely that you’ve heard of the National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program (Nadcap). After more than 20 years in aerospace as a metallurgical engineer, much of which in consulting, I’ve heard a lot of opinions about the Nadcap certification process. It’s a rigorous process, so it’s not surprising that it can cause frustration, but I strongly believe meeting Nadcap requirements are the gold standard in process control for many good reasons.
Any business handling heat treating for aerospace customers is likely to face Nadcap audits. Manufacturers like Boeing and Airbus require Nadcap accreditation, so the vast supply chain of subcontractors handling aerospace products must meet and maintain Nadcap requirements.
