Electronic Scientific Digital 1 k-type Thermocouple Thermometer DT1311

This is a brand new, high quality digital k type thermometer for contact temperature measurements. It has one input for K-type thermocouples and can display the temperature in 0.1° steps. It can be used in HVAC trade to check air conditioners, heaters or furnaces with high precision. With the extended measurement range it is also great for industrial applications, metal working, science projects and the laboratory. It can measure very low temperatures and also very high temperatures. It comes with one 3 ft (1 m) temperature probe TC-1, this has a green FEP Teflon based plastic insulation and works up to about 392°F (200°C) , but any other K-type temperature probe with miniature thermocouple connector can be used. To use the thermometer for temperatures above 392 degree F you would need a special thermocouple with a fiberglass or ceramic insulation or a stainless steel probe (not included). This thermometer also is frequently used by home brewers to measure the temperature of water baths and mash. There are many other hobby applications where this affordable thermometer is useful. Because of the very low measuring capability it can be used to measure liquid nitrogen or dry ice temperatures. The very high upper temperature allows the use in high temperature furnaces, kilns, forge and metal working applications. In this case you would need to order a k-type thermocouple with mineral fiber insulation (e.g. the thermocouple PK-1000). Four AAA batteries are included.
