Air and surface traces can be followed after closure. They do not replace product-condition evidence.
Avoid a quick conclusion
Remaining load, ambient condition, cooling source and sensor position affect the recovery trace.
Inspection sequence
Log closure and find when the trace returns to its defined operating band. Compare similar stops.
Data needed for the decision
- Closing time
- Return time
- Remaining load
- Ambient condition
A changed trace at similar stops may reflect handling or load pattern. Record deviations and refer them to an authorized person.
