The most monitored indoor air quality factor is temperature. Different applications call for different methods of measuring temperature. With that in mind, SKC offers two types of low-cost, easy-to-use mini-thermometers for penetration and surface temperature measurements.

Applications

Surface
  • Monitoring motors
  • Measuring on injection moulding dies
  • Metal processing industry
  • Servicing electrical products such as
    • Cooking surfaces
    • Irons
    • Radiators
  • Checking hot and cooking plates in catering industry
Penetration
  • Measuring air conditioning systems
  • Monitoring in the food sector (HACCP)
  • Laboratories
  • Transportation industry

Temperature STICK - Surface

A professional instrument at an economical price, this surface mini-thermometer guarantees very quick reaction time and high accuracy levels when measuring temperatures directly from a surface. With a measuring range from -58 to +660 F (short-term to +930 F), the Surface Temperature STICK features a spring-loaded thermocouple that adapts itself to every type of surface for accurate measurements. The unit features a patented swivel head for easy monitoring of readings.

Temperature STICK - Penetration

One of the fastest and most accurate mini-thermometers available, this industrial probe type K thermocouple provides a wide measuring range from -60 to +660 F (1 to 2 min up to +900 F). The sensor is located directly in the measuring tip for reliably fast measurements. A patented swivel head facilitates easy viewing of readings from any angle. Use for fast temperature measurements of air, liquids, and in soft or powdery materials.

Choosing a Temperature Measuring Instrument
The method of temperature measurement is dependent on the application. Consider the following items when selecting a particular method of temperature measurement:

  • Design of instrument
  • Measuring range
  • Instrument accuracy
  • Price
  • Response time
  • Drift
Typically, thermocouple probes provide fast measurements, have wide measuring ranges, and are less expensive. The more accurate, but slower resistance and NTC-type probes tend to be more expensive. Choosing an instrument with a wide measuring range will provide for the most versatility.
