Food Temperature Probes

Contact / Surface Probe
Applications (C)
• Measure griddle temperatures to assure correct cooking
temperatures.
• Check frozen food to assure proper storage temperatures.
• Measure temperatures between package to ensure proper
quality control.
• Check any surface for correct process control temperatures.
• Measure superheats on condensers.
• Measure griddle temperatures.
• Measure machinery or mold temperatures with a surface probe.
• Measure pipe temperatures in any industrial application.
Penetration / Immersion Probe Applications (F)
• Check internal food temperatures to assure quality control.
• Measure deep fat fryers with a high temp immersion probe.
• Measure liquids and semi-solid temperatures in food processing
applications.
• Use a reduced tip probe for quicker response times where time is
crucial to the process.
Air Probe Applications (G)
• Measure air temperatures in duct work.
• Measure air temperature coming from diffusers while
Trouble-shooting heating and air conditioning systems.
• Measure flame temperatures to trouble-shoot industrial
heating applications.
• Calibrate thermostats using an ambient air probe.
TPI has three basic types of temperature probes: penetration/immersion, contact, and air. Each type comes in varied tips (see chart on left) and connector types.
- K-Type Thermocouple with Sub-Mini Connector Probes DescriptionK-Type: Wide temperature range used in many digital thermometers. Identified by a yellow connector.
Sub-Mini Connector: This is an industry standard connectory type allowing TPI probes to be used in any thermocouple thermometer using this type of connector. Sub-mini cnnectors are quick and easy to use, simply push in and out. A wide variety of economical probes are available with sub-mini connectors, enhancing versatility and affordability of the termperature tester. - T-Type Thermocouple with Lumberg Connector Probes DescriptionT-Type: Narrowest temperature range but most accurate. Identified by a blue connector.
Lumberg Connector: Uses a screw collar to attach to the thermometer. Most secure connection available. Designed for food processing environments - K-Type Thermocouple with Lumberg Connector Probes DescriptionK-Type: Wide temperature range used in many digital thermometers. Identified by a yellow connector.
