Surface Thermometer: Temperature Readings
What is Surface Temperature Measurement
Surface temperature measurement is important in many industries like cooking, HVAC and outdoor applications. It’s measuring the temperature of a surface like a grill, pizza oven or swimming pool to ensure accurate and safe operation. Surface temperature measurement can be done through infrared thermometers, surface thermometers and probe thermometers. Understanding surface temperature measurement is key to choosing the right thermometer for your needs. Accurate surface temperature readings eliminate guesswork so your equipment runs efficiently and safely.
Surface Thermometers
Certified Material Testing Products offers a range of Surface Dial Thermometers that can measure surface temperature on contact with any surface. These are a must have for professionals in many industries like laboratories, manufacturing and quality control.
The Surface Dial Thermometers have a 2” dial, easy to read and accurate. With ±2% accuracy these thermometers are reliable and precise in any situation. Whether you’re measuring hot or cold surfaces the Surface Dial Thermometers will give you accurate readings every time.
One of the great features of the Surface Dial Thermometers is they can be attached to non-horizontal ferrous surfaces using two integral magnets. This design means the thermometer will stay in place during measurement, no need for additional support or holding devices. This makes the Surface Dial Thermometers perfect for laboratory and field use.

For accurate and fast surface temperature measurement the Surface Dial Thermometers from Certified Material Testing Products are the way to go. Durable, accurate and easy to read dials these are a must have for professionals in many industries. Reliable and dependable the Surface Dial Thermometers will give you accurate temperature readings.
Surface Thermometers
There are many types of surface thermometers, each with its own features and applications. Here are some of them:
-
Infrared Thermometers: These measure surface temperature through infrared thermometers and infrared radiation. Non-contact, they don’t touch the surface being measured. Infrared surface thermometers are used in cooking, HVAC and outdoor applications for fast and accurate readings from a distance.
-
Probe Thermometers: These use a stainless steel probe to measure surface temperature. Used in cooking applications like measuring internal temperature of meat. The stainless steel probe is durable and precise, perfect for chefs and home cooks.
-
Surface Thermometers: These measure surface temp and are used in industrial applications like monitoring temperature of machinery or equipment. They give direct contact readings, high accuracy and reliability in many professional applications.
Applications and Considerations
Surface thermometers have many applications:
-
Cooking: Grill surface thermometers are a must have for cooking, you can measure the temperature of your grill, pizza oven or cooking surface. This ensures food is cooked to perfection, safe and tasty.
-
HVAC: Surface thermometers are used in HVAC applications to measure temperature of heating and cooling systems. Accurate temperature readings means efficient system and no potential problems.
-
Outdoor Applications: Surface thermometers are used in outdoor applications like measuring temperature of swimming pools or outdoor cooking surfaces. This ensures safe outdoor activities.
When choosing a grill surface thermometer consider:
-
Range: Choose a thermometer that can measure the range you need. Some can measure up to 716°F (378°C) while others may have lower range.
-
Accuracy: Look for a thermometer that is accurate. Some are more accurate than others, so this is important for precise measurements.
-
Battery Life: Choose a thermometer with long battery life if you will be using it often. A good battery means your thermometer is always ready to use.
-
Probe Type: If you need to measure internal temperature consider a thermometer with a stainless steel probe. This type of probe is durable and precise.
-
Infrared Technology: If you need to measure surface temperature from a distance consider an infrared surface thermometer. Infrared thermometers are easy and fast non-contact readings.
Now you know the principles of surface temperature measurement and what to look for in a thermometer.
