Chamois Metrolgy has introduced the Martell Electronics Betaprobe TI Digital Thermometer, a compact and low-cost instrument featuring a probe that rotates through 90 degrees for use in limited space.
The high-precision instrument is suitable as a portable replacement for liquid in glass thermometers, which can suffer from problems with safety and potential product contamination.
Incorporating proven Betaprobe circuit-design technology for reliability and precision, it has a temperature range of 50-160C with +/-0.06C accuracy and a resolution of 0.1, 0.01, or 0.001C (selectable).
An integral rotating probe houses a quick-response thin-film sensor for high-accuracy readings with minimal insertion depth.
It features a user-configurable trend indicator that indicates whether the reading is stable or trending higher or lower.
The LCD display has a high-intensity blue backlight for easy reading in any lighting condition.
Powered by three longlife AAA alkaline batteries and weighing 75g, it is small-sized and easily transportable.
The Betaprobe TI has ATEX and IECEX approvals for hazardous areas, making it suitable for temperature monitoring in oil and gas applications where there is a potential explosive atmosphere.
With the use of the optional Betalog TI software this product becomes a high-performance, easy-to-use data logger.
It allows the user to create a full suite of logging options and download them to the Betaprobe TI, and then retrieve, format, display and save the data using Microsoft Excel spreadsheet files.
The unit's RS-232 serial port can also be used for configuration and recalibration support via windows hyper terminal.
In addition to LIG thermometer replacement it can also be used as an independent reference thermometer for use with temperature dry-block calibrators and process temperature-logging applications.
The ability to use Betaprobe TI in hazardous areas makes it suitable for almost any application where precision temperature measurements are required.
