Type of article: Article

Summary

The allowed difference in z-value between a SCTTI and target attribute to measure the impact of a thermal process with a given accuracy was examined theoretically. In order to obtain a safe estimate of the impact value, whatever the shape of the time-temperature profile, a new approach is suggested based on a SCTTI with a z-value below the target z-value in combination with the use of a reference temperature above or equal to the maximum processing temperature.
