Type J Penetration Thermometer Probe, Large

Sper Scientific 800086 Large Type J Penetration Thermometer Probe: Precision Measurement for Diverse Applications

The Sper Scientific 800086 is a robust and reliable Type J penetration thermometer probe designed for accurate temperature measurement in a wide range of materials and environments. Ideal for professionals requiring precise internal temperature readings, this probe is a versatile addition to any toolkit.

Key Features:

• Type J Thermocouple: Utilizes a Type J thermocouple, known for its high sensitivity of approximately 50 µV/°C, making it particularly effective for precise measurements within its designated range.
• Optimal Temperature Range: Engineered to operate effectively within a temperature range of -50°C to +400°C (-58°F to +752°F). This makes it suitable for numerous applications where a restricted but highly accurate range is critical.
• Durable Penetration Design: The sharp, sturdy probe tip is specifically designed for penetration into semi-solids, liquids, and granular materials, ensuring direct and reliable internal temperature readings.
• Robust Construction: Built for demanding environments, featuring a strong handle and a durable probe shaft that can withstand regular use.
• Generous Dimensions for Reach:
  • Handle Length: 5.5 inches (140 mm) provides a comfortable and secure grip.
  • Probe Length: 4.8 inches (121 mm) allows for deep penetration into target substances.
  • Probe Diameter: 3 mm ensures a balance of strength and minimal impact on the material being measured.
  • Cord Length: A substantial 42-inch (107 cm) cord offers ample reach and flexibility, connecting easily to compatible Type J thermometers.
• Standard Wire Color: Adheres to the Type J standard with white (+) and red (-) wire colors for easy identification and correct connection.

Applications:

The Sper Scientific 800086 probe is an excellent choice for:

• Food Safety and Catering: Monitoring internal temperatures of food products during cooking, storage, and transport to meet HACCP standards.
• HVAC/R: Checking temperatures within ducts, refrigeration units, and environmental systems.
• Laboratory & Research: General-purpose temperature measurement in various experimental setups.
• Industrial Processes: Spot-checking temperatures in plastics, chemicals, and other process materials.
• Agriculture: Soil temperature analysis or monitoring compost piles.

While the widely used Type K thermocouples offer a broader temperature range (typically -50°C to +900°C), the Type J probe stands out for its higher sensitivity within its more restricted range, offering superior accuracy for specific applications. Ensure compatibility with your existing Type J thermometer for optimal performance.
