In numerous industrial sectors, precise temperature specifications aren't just important—they're critical. Deviations of even less than one degree can lead to devastating consequences, impacting product quality, safety, and operational efficiency.
This is precisely why the digital thermometer has become an indispensable tool. It reliably displays the correct temperature, making it suitable for a vast array of applications. From the catering trade to food production and processing, from diligently monitoring cold chains to precisely checking the function of air conditioning systems, a digital thermometer ensures accuracy where it matters most.
Testo's digital thermometers are renowned for their superior design and performance, offering key features that ensure reliable and precise temperature measurement:

Clear presentation of values thanks to large display: Enjoy effortless readability of your measurements at a glance.
Different sensors can be used for different areas of application: Versatile options to perfectly match your specific measurement needs.
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.
However, another generation of digital thermometers is used here, which makes the permanent development or the temperature curve visible and thus enables evaluations. This is the temperature data logger, in which the measured values are stored and can therefore be analyzed. They also serve as proof of an unbroken cold chain, for example. Today, a digital thermometer is used wherever temperature measurements are required.
Infrared thermometer (measurement from a distance)
Surface thermometer (equipped with fixed or interchangeable probes)
Air thermometer
Insertion thermometer (e.g. for preparing food)
Digital thermometer for immersion measurements
These are just a small selection, as digital thermometers are used wherever temperatures and their compliance are important. They cannot be replaced by other measuring devices, but are often used in combination with them. In this case, temperatures and humidity values are measured simultaneously.
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.
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
Fast, digital, highly efficient and with an app.

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.
