This general purpose Temperature sensor is our most commonly used sensor. It’s an ideal replacement for a standard glass thermometer with the added advantage of recording temperature changes over time.
A selection of products that may compliment the Temperature Sensor.
The sensor is a thermistor encased in a high quality stainless steel tube. The steel tube has high heat conductivity making it responsive to temperature changes. The stainless steel tube provides a high level of corrosion and chemical resistance making it suitable for use with experiments in chemistry, biology, physics, earth and environmental science.
The SmartQ range provides 3 different temperature sensors depending on teh application:
Fast Response: The thermistor wires are covered by highly flexible heat-shrink tubing. This makes the Sensor suitable for measuring temperature in a confined space or attached to the body for physiology experiments.
K-Type: The wide temperature range of this sensor enables it to be used in experiments that generate very high or low temperatures (-200 to 1,000°C).
