OTHER THERMOMETERS

 

1. Thermocouple Thermometer

This type of thermometer notices the difference between hot and cold junctions through the current in the attached probes. This is a very sensitive model that can provide accurate temperature results between -250 and 1600 degrees Celsius.

 

2. Dual Sensor Thermometer

These thermometers are designed for professional use as they provide dual readings of environments that can remain steady for long periods of time. The main reader of this thermometer can be mounted to a desk or wall and the probes can be inserted into a variety of environments for readings.

 

3. Fixed and Wired Probe Thermometer

Probe thermometers are designed to provide accurate readings of temperatures in foods, liquids or semi-solids in retail or laboratory settings. These are mainly designed for hygiene testing, and they will vary in size and focus on providing solid, accurate readings to ensure user safety.

 

4. K-type Thermometer

These thermometers are designed to measure extreme temperatures in the air, liquids or surfaces within a professional environment. The specific temperature range will vary by brand but they work to provide a non-slip grip that is manoeuvrable for use in a variety of environments without compromising accuracy.

 

5. Data Logging Thermometer

These provide temperature results in real time that can be downloaded to a computer to note the temperature history of an environment to check for variances. This can be used to provide graphical data and accurate readings that are suitable for professional use.

 

6. Infrared Thermometer

These can measure very high or low surface temperatures without the need to make contact with the item in question, which is ideal for spot checking temperature settings within an environment. However, there can be up to a 30 percent error reading due to this lack of contact, but this can be corrected with a traceable accuracy setting.

 

7. Bimetal Thermometer

Bimetal thermometers are designed to note temperature changes as the metal in the base expands and contracts. These are typically used on thermostats or dial thermometers to note the temperature at a specific time by allowing the dial in the face to rotate as necessary.

 

8. Liquid-crystal Thermometer

These thermometers will change colors due to the liquid crystals in the face to reflect the temperature on the forehead or other substance where this is placed. The designated temperature will become darker on the face to designate a reading that also provides a digital reading.

 

9. Gas Thermometer

These are a very common type of industrial thermometer that are used to keep the temperature of stored gas constant within a confined area. The pressure of this gas will be measured to determine the temperature inside.
