Thermo-Temp, Inc. has expanded its ANAB ISO/IEC 17025:2017 scope of accreditation to include Temperature Uniformity Surveys (TUS) and System Accuracy Tests (SAT). This achievement makes Thermo-Temp one of the few calibration labs in the country to offer TUS and SAT services under accredited standards, addressing critical needs in industries where tightly controlled thermal environments are essential, meeting Society of American Engineers International (SAE) Aerospace Material Specifications (AMS) 2750 and American Petroleum Institute (API) requirements for aerospace and heat treatment.
“Expanding our accredited services to include Temperature Uniformity Surveys and Systems Accuracy Tests underscores our commitment to continually growing our capabilities to meet clients’ needs,” said Chuck Osterhaus, President of Thermo-Temp, Inc. “We strive to deliver industry-leading service, and being among the few labs accredited for TUS and SAT means our clients can trust that their critical thermal processes are validated with the highest levels of precision, reliability, and compliance.”
The inclusion of TUS and SAT in Thermo-Temp’s ISO/IEC 17025 scope means its survey methods and results adhere to rigorous international standards. For aerospace clients, this supports compliance with SAE AMS2750, the aerospace pyrometry specification that now mandates using ISO/IEC 17025-accredited providers for temperature calibration services (including TUS and SAT). Industry frameworks like Nadcap (the aerospace and defense industry accreditation program) and the maritime industry also require regular TUS and SAT for audit compliance. Thermo-Temp’s accredited TUS and SAT reports provide clients with confidence during audits and regulatory scrutiny, serving as documented proof that their thermal processes meet accepted benchmarks and are performed by an accredited, technically competent provider.
While many calibration providers can perform TUS and SAT, few have undergone the stringent ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation process specifically for this service. Thermo-Temp’s ability to deliver TUS under accredited standards assures clients that each survey is conducted by qualified technicians using validated procedures, with results traceable to national standards. This level of third-party oversight is especially valuable for companies facing customer audits or regulatory reviews, as accredited TUS and SAT reports add an extra layer of assurance and credibility. Customers can be confident that Thermo-Temp’s TUS and SAT reports will support their own compliance efforts (for example, with AMS2750 or FDA/USDA guidelines) and stand up to scrutiny during quality audits.
Thermo-Temp’s ANAB accreditation certificate encompasses a broad scope of calibration capabilities. Adding TUS and SAT to this scope complements the company’s existing services and enhances its role as a comprehensive calibration and thermal validation provider. Whether ensuring an aerospace or heat-treat furnace meets AMS2750 uniformity tolerances or confirming a food processing oven operates within safe temperature limits, Thermo-Temp now offers an end-to-end solution with the confidence of accredited results.
Thermo-Temp’s ANAB-Accredited Calibration Scope includes:
- Electrical (DC/Low Frequency)
- Pressure and Vacuum
- Thermodynamic (Temperature Measurement, SAT, TUS)
- Time and Frequency
- Mass and Mass-Related (Hardness)
