Temprecord Multi-Trip and Scientific dataloggers can be supplied with optional external probes which extend the temperature recording range of the logger and allow precise and targeted data to be collected
Stainless Steel Probes
Our standard range of probes are manufactured from 5mm or 3/16th inch O/D (outside diameter) 316 food grade stainless steel. The insertable depth of these probes is 100mm or 4 inches for both the right angle Bent and Straight types. As an option to the standard Stainless steel finish on probes we can supply PTFE Teflon coated probes. See the bent probe to the left for an example. The Teflon coating on the probes does not affect the response time of the probe. A noticable advantage when using Teflon coated probes is the ease of removal from product due to the non stick properties of Teflon.
Temprecord Stainless steel probes have a 2 ?_ minute time constant which means it takes only 2 ?_ minutes for the entire probe to stabilise to the temperature of interest (recording enviroment). The temperature range of probe is -50? C to +110? C or -58? F to +230? F
Teflon Probes
The original non stick Teflon probe was designed by MIRINZ to be used on the surface of chilled meat to calculate PHI ( Process Hygiene index ) values. Process Hygiene index values are calculated and displayed in the statistical section of Temprecord for Windows software. A detailed explanation on how to apply PHI values is given in the help file of Temprecord for Windows software. The temperature range of the probe is -50? C to +110? C or -58? F to +230? F. The Teflon probe has a total length of 130mm or 5?_ inches and a insertable depth of 100mm or 4 inches.
Low Temperature Probes
Supercool probes are manufactured with a specialized glass encapsulated temperature (YSI) Sensor that enhances the capability of Temprecord loggers at the lower end of the temperature operating range. The temperature range that can be recorded by a logger fitted with either a straight or bent Supercool probe is -80? C to +110? C or -112? F to +230? F
The dimensions of Supercool probes are the same as our standard stainless steel probes i.e. 5mm or 3/16" O/D 316 food grade SS. The PTFE Teflon coated probe option is also available for Supercool probes.
It is important to note that if you intend to record very low temperatures, then place only the probe into the cold enviroment, if the enviroment temperature will exceed the minimum operating temperature of the battery powering the logger. For this reason we can supply the probe cables from 300mm to 10 meters (12 inches to 32.8 Feet) long.
