Testo 0614 0072 - Pt100 Air Temperature Probe
The new digital air temperature probe enables precise measurement of air temperature. To guarantee a quick response time, the Pt100 sensor is exposed and is protected against impact and contact by a guard.
You can also use immersion and penetration probes to measure air temperature. However, please note that the specified response time of the immersion/penetration probe refers to measurements in water. For measurements in air, the response time is around 40 - 60 times higher. This is because in immersion/penetration probes the sensor element is built into the probe shaft, and the probe shaft still needs to reach the actual temperature. Only then is this passed on to the sensor element.
In the air temperature probe, however, the sensor is exposed. Therefore the temperature to be measured directly encounters the sensor element. Consequently, compared with the immersion/penetration probe, the air temperature probe can achieve shorter response times when measuring air temperature.
Applications
The Pt100 air temperature probe is suitable (in combination with the measuring instrument) for industrial and laboratory applications such as:
- Calibrating stationary sensors
- Monitoring production processes / production facilities
- Monitoring process temperatures
- Reference measurements in the calibration laboratory
