Thomas Traceable Waterproof Food HACCP Thermometer, with Infrared and 6" Probe Length, -67 to 482 degree F, -55 to 250 degree C

The Thomas Traceable Waterproof HACCP Thermometer is designed to measure temperature in food labs, food processing, food preparation, and brewing. The infrared sensor measures temperature from -55 to 250 degrees C (- 67 to 482 degrees F), with an accuracy of + or - 0.6 degrees C. The stainless-steel stem probe has a piercing tip and measures temperature from -55 to 330 degrees C (-67 to 626 degrees F), with an accuracy of + or - 0.5 degrees C. The infrared sensor has a 2.5:1 distance-to-spot measurement ratio. The unit is designed to indicate Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) zones for use in food safety analysis. A green LED indicates temperature below 4 degrees C/40 degrees F and above 60 degrees C/140 degrees F and a red LED indicates temperature between 4 and 60 degrees C/40 to 140 degrees F. The thermometer is traceable to National Institute of Standards and Technology standards, indicating that it is calibrated to International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 17025 levels. This Thomas thermometer is used to measure food temperature in restaurants, grocery stores, and other food-safety and food-storage facilities.

H is height, the vertical distance from lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.

Digital infrared thermometers measure the temperature of surfaces from a distance. They may measure temperature in Celsius, Fahrenheit, or both. Infrared (IR) thermometers work by focusing the infrared radiation emitted by a surface onto a detector called a thermopile. The thermopile turns the heat into electricity, which is measured and converted to a temperature reading. The reading is then displayed on an LCD display. IR thermometers are used to measure temperature when an object is fragile, as in ear thermometers, or dangerous to be near, as in the case of industrial equipment.
