Thermometer electronic with a probe for water: description

More and more people, when choosing thermometers for domestic needs, choose an electronic thermometer with a probe. This device greatly simplifies and accelerates the process of temperature measurement in a variety of situations.

The distinctive feature of thermometers with a probe

The main feature of these devices is the presence of a feeler, which is a kind of a thin knitting needle. With its help, when immersed in the area under investigation, the temperature of the area with which it is in contact is determined.

Inside the probe is a thermocouple, which reacts quickly to the environment and transmits data to the housing of the device, where they are converted into digital values and displayed.

Varieties of the stylus

The probe itself can be foldable, curved or variable in thickness (thin at the end and with a large diameter at the base).

Its connection to the body can be either direct or with the help of a flexible wire. In some models, communication is via a radio signal, in which case the probe is separated from the thermometer body.

An electronic thermometer with a probe, the photo of which is presented in the article, is a model in which the body is directly connected to the probe rod.

Benefits

Let's talk about what attracts the described devices:

1. Wide temperature range, which is supported by an electronic thermometer with a probe: -50 to + 300 ° C. This fact significantly expands the application area of such a device, unlike the usual mercury analogues. However, it should be borne in mind that the most reliable maximum value that an electronic thermometer with a probe can show is + 250 ° C.

2. The device is easy to use. A long, thin probe of such a thermometer can easily be inserted into the object or medium being examined and the temperature of the area with which the sensor contacts is determined. It can also be simply leaned against the object under study to determine, for example, the temperature of the surface.

3. The electronic thermometer with a sturdy, durable, lightweight and compact. It is convenient to carry it in your pocket or keep it in your glove compartment so that it is always at hand.

4. It works quickly: it is enough to immerse the sensor in the tested environment for 5-7 seconds and the display will show the temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit.

5. Indicators, by the way, are updated every second. If desired, you can fix them by pressing a special button on the thermometer body.

6. The accuracy of the device varies between 0,01-0,05 ° C, which allows to determine with maximum accuracy the degree of heating or cooling of the substances under study.

7. The thermometer is easy to use and maintain. The main control is carried out by means of a pair of buttons, and to clean the stylus from contamination, it is enough to wipe it with a damp cloth and wipe it dry with a napkin.

8. It has a simple power element - a battery (one or two) of AG13 type: A76, LR44, SR44W, GP76A. Her work is enough for about 2 000-3 000 hours.

Application area

The benefit that an electronic thermometer brings with a probe is hard to overestimate. It is necessarily useful if you like to cook deliciously, grow crops or houseplants, serve a car or other equipment, build and repair, and run a household.

In addition to these functions, some electronic thermometers have the ability to determine the alcohol content (strength of drinks), which is useful for brewing and preparing alcohol.

In order to choose the optimal version of the thermometer for specific purposes, it is necessary to consider the features of different models.

Thermometer electronic ТР-101

It is also called an electronic kitchen thermometer with a feeler, as this model is often used in cooking. The sensor detects the temperature in liquids, loose and semi-solid substances. It is convenient to assess the readiness of food with it. For this, the dipstick is immersed in the thickness of the products and their internal temperature is observed.

For example, you can find out whether a dish or baby food is warmed up, to understand if the bird is ready in the oven, to remove the barbecue from the fire in time, and to make sure that the baking inside is not damp. For this, the described device is needed.

Suitable thermometer electronic with a probe for water: determines its temperature in a pan, bathroom, aquarium or pool.

Control is carried out by means of buttons:

• ON / OFF - turn the device on or off.
• HOLD - to fix the indicators. By clicking on it you keep the last temperature values and you can view it closer if it is inconvenient to do this during the measurements. To continue the measurement, press HOLD again.

These are the two main buttons, which are equipped with almost all models of such thermometers. But there may be other controllers for controlling the operation of the device:

• C ° / F ° - allow to determine the temperature in the values of Celsius or Fahrenheit.
• MAX / MIN - shows the maximum and minimum temperature fixed by the instrument, however, you can only reset these parameters by removing the battery from the thermometer, by resetting it in this way.

Disadvantages - the inability to determine the temperature inside the oven when cooking, as the thermometer body can melt from high temperatures.

Thermometer with a probe on the wire

An electronic thermometer with an external probe is required for a more comfortable temperature measurement in different conditions:

1. Due to the movable sensor attached to the housing by means of a flexible wire, it can be placed inside the oven to determine the temperature of the oven itself or to stick directly into the baked product.
2. With it is much more convenient to view the indicators on the display, this allows a fairly long wire. In addition, such devices are equipped with various fasteners for fixing them on a table or in a suspended state.
3. Many models to help housewives are equipped with a timer, a countdown system. You can set the temperature in the display with the help of the program and insert the dipstick into the product being prepared. When the dish reaches the desired temperature, the electronic thermometer will notify you about this by beeping.

Thermometer and alcoholometer: two in one

An electronic thermometer with a wt-1 probe in the instruction is also referred to as an "electronic thermometer / alcoholometer ETS 223". For the exact identification and identification of this model on the case above the display there is an inscription wt-1.

We will immediately explain that it is impossible to measure the strength of a liquid with such a device, because it determines the alcohol content itself at an ambient temperature of not less than 78 ° C. That is, it is suitable for these purposes, only being directly connected to the moonshine.

The indicators are displayed in real time. For practical use, two ETS 223 alcoholometers are used: one is connected to a distiller, the other to a distillation column.

Specifications of thermometer / alcoholometer

Features of the electronic thermometer wt-1:

• Measure the temperature of alcohol-containing vapors in the range from 0 to 120 ° C;
• Determine the strength (alcohol content) of steam in volume percentages from 0% to 97%;
• To assess the alcohol content of the bottom residue in volume percentages from 97% to 0%.

Consider the other characteristics of the thermometer:

• Temperature measurement accuracy: +/- 1 ° C;
• Possibility of correction of indications: +/- 9 ° C;
• Measuring range: 0-300 ° C;
• Temperature display: up to 0.1 ° C;
• Temperature detection: 3-5 seconds;
• Duration of work: from one minute to one hour;
• Power: two 1.5V batteries;
• Battery life: about 2,000 hours;
• Length of the probe - 105 mm, diameter - 3.5 mm;
• Material: feeler - stainless steel, body - heat-resistant plastic.

The device is equipped with convenient buttons:

• ON / OFF - turn on / off the device, select the duration of operation;
• C / F - display of the indices of Celsius or Fahrenheit, calibration of the readings.

Switching to the spirit meter mode

When the ON / OFF button is pressed, the instrument turns on. First, the display shows the system values and "60 s" appears. This means that the device will operate for 60 seconds, after which it will turn off. This is done in order to save battery.

If it is necessary to observe the instrument for a longer time, then when the above inscription appears on the screen, press ON / OFF again. The device will not turn off, and the display will show "hour". Hence, the operating mode of the device will last for this time.

Then you need to press the C / F button and hold it until "PAR" appears on the display: in this mode, you can measure the spiritness of the vapors. If you press C / F again, the inscription will change to "SMS": now you can determine the spiritness index in the cube of the device.

In addition, the described model performs the same functions as an electronic thermometer with a probe, that is, it measures the temperature of the surrounding objects.

For what purpose do you use a thermometer

For bathing babies, the water temperature is not hot, so that the child feels active, comfortable and gradually tempered (35-37 ° C). By the way, water should be boiled beforehand if the umbilical cord has not yet healed. In this situation, the described device will be absolutely indispensable.

To control the degree of roasting of meat products, an electronic thermometer with a probe is also useful. For meat, minced meat and fish it is important to observe the temperature regime of cooking. To do this, the sensor should be immersed in the middle of the thickest part of the product and measure the temperature inside.

We offer temperatures of ready meals:

• Lamb, beef, veal: 52-57 ° C (with blood), 58-62 ° C (medium roast with blood), 63-70 ° C (medium roast), 70-75 ° C (full roast).
• Pork: 60-70 ° C (medium roast), 70-75 ° C (full roast).
• Chicken, turkey: 75-82 ° C (baked entirely), 68-75 ° C (breast), 75-82 ° C (ham, wings).
• Duck, goose: 68-75 ° C (baked entirely), 60-70 ° C (medium-roasted breast).
• Minced meat: 67-73 ° C (chicken, turkey), 65-70 ° C (mutton, beef, veal, pork).
• Fish: 60-63 ° C (full roast).

What else is a thermometer useful for?

Those who want to grow a tea mushroom, you need to know that he loves water with a temperature of about 25 ° C and feels bad at 17 ° C.

Many people like to drink tea, adding honey, but it is known that at high temperatures honey loses its healing properties, so the temperature of the tea should not be more than 60 ° C to preserve the qualities of honey and drink a hot drink.

And the dough left for fermentation before baking can be considered ready if its temperature has risen from the original by 2 ° C. The initial value of the freshly mixed dough is about 30 ° C. If the room temperature does not allow the test to reach the desired values, then you need to put the workpiece in a warmer place: the oven, the battery or a basin of hot water.

At 25 ° C baker's yeast actively multiplies, and at 30-40 ° C - acid-forming bacteria in the test. Controlling the temperature of the dough, you can avoid getting an excessively acidic or not good-quality product.

Confectioners actively use such thermometers to determine the temperature of caramel syrup: for hard caramel - from 145 ° C (light - 155 ° C, dark - 170 ° C), soft for filling, - 118 ° C to 125 ° C.

Control of all these indicators will allow an electronic thermometer with a probe that is convenient to take with you, easy to use and receive accurate data.
