Digital thermometer

Indispensable helpers in industry and food production

Digital thermometer

There are many areas in industry where precise temperature specifications are essential. Deviations of less than one degree can have devastating consequences! It's a good thing that the digital thermometer reliably displays the correct temperature and is therefore suitable for use in a variety of areas. Whether in the catering trade or in the production and processing of food, whether for monitoring cold chains or checking the function of air conditioning systems: a digital thermometer has become indispensable.

The digital thermometers from Testo are characterized by the following features:

  • robust and handy design

  • Exact sensor technology and precise measurement results

  • Clear presentation of values thanks to large display

  • Different sensors can be used for different areas of application

Digital thermometer

Digital thermometer: Simple operation for demanding tasks

We are all familiar with digital thermometers from using them at the doctor's or at home. If a fever needs to be measured, the analog thermometer is no longer used; today, modern digital thermometers are used. A relatively simple technology is used for this: The thermometer uses a sensor in the tip for the measurement. This in turn has an electrical resistance that reacts to changes in temperature. Semiconductor sensors are used for this purpose, which become more conductive under the influence of temperature and allow a larger current to flow. The digital thermometer shows the temperature calculated from the current flow on the display. What is common practice in medicine or in domestic applications has also been used in industry for a long time.

Temperature measurement: Necessary in all areas

There is probably no industrial sector that can do without temperature measurement. The catering industry cannot do without the meat thermometer, which is inserted into the food to measure the ideal temperature and has a long probe for this purpose. This type of thermometer can also be used for measuring in liquids, sometimes using a replaceable probe.

Thermal imaging cameras are indispensable in the building trade and in heating engineering. They make any thermal bridges in buildings visible and help to find unwanted heat sources. They are also used to assess the energy efficiency of a building and are used in industry, science and research.

Thermometer: Communication with other measuring devices

A digital thermometer is no longer simply held in the hand and dipped into the surface to be measured or the solution to be determined, as was the case in the past. Modern use with a smartphone is possible, because smart technologies do not stop at a digital thermometer. When using the Testo Smart Probes, temperatures, humidity, speeds and other measured variables can be determined, for example.

Thermo-Hygrometer: Competent helper for climate monitoring

In many areas, it is essential to monitor the climate constantly and permanently. This is where the thermo-hygrometer comes into play, continuously recording both temperature and humidity. The combination of digital thermometer and hygrometer can be used in:

  • residential buildings to determine the indoor climate

  • in greenhouses to determine the growing climate

  • in archives to monitor the climate

  • in food warehouses to ensure the storage climate

Digital thermometer for domestic use

Digital thermometer

In addition to the roasting thermometer, which determines the ideal roasting temperature of the meat, a barbecue thermometer is also important for use at home. If you want your steak to be well cooked or rare, you can rely on experience and good judgment when grilling and roasting, as well as on the right digital thermometer. The latter, of course, allows the values to be determined much more reliably and accurately.

The digital thermometer is used here as a penetration thermometer. However, you should make sure that the temperature sensor has a sufficient adjustment time. If it is read too early, the measurement results are often falsified. For individual applications, temperature measuring strips are used, which are equally suitable for industrial and scientific applications. As already mentioned, digital thermometers are used as clinical thermometers, as room thermometers or as combined temperature-humidity meters.
