Surface Temperature Probe General Applications/Usage

The STP-01K series Surface Temperature Probe is used in applications where an instant temperature reading is required on a metal object. There is no time to wait for a thermocouple element junction to heat up to temperature.

The STP-01K will give you an instantaneous accurate reading as soon as the prongs touch a metal object. A typical application is the measurement of metal billet temperatures. After the billets are extruded, they move on conveyer belt  to a forging operation. The operator only has seconds to take a temperature reading prior to forging. The STP-01K is the perfect sensor. Instant accurate temperature readings, with Richards quality. 

Over the years we have repaired many competitors surface temperature probes. We created our Heavy Duty Surface Temperature Probe (Series STP-01K) to correct problems we have seen with other probes on the market. Our design takes into consideration that these types of probes are quite often banged, twisted, dropped and even run over. Because of this we have tried to provide our customers with the most durable unit possible.
