Classification - Temperature Sensor Probe, Digital Thermometer, K type Thermocouple, manufacturer.

The Pyrometer Digital 500 II digital thermometer is a rugged portable easy to read thermocouple pyrometer that utilizes interchangeable, reusable thermocouple tips for both surface and immersion applications. This digital thermometer pyrometer is ideal for temperature measurement using thermocouple thermometer K type thermocouples. Instrument temperature measurement accuracy to ± 1.0% of reading is achieved by employing an automatic internal cold end junction compensator to prevent temperature measurement errors due to ambient temperature variations. The Digital 500 thermocouple thermometer comes complete with a durable Lexan housing and is ready to use with a wide variety of optional rigid & flexible extension arms and thermocouples.

The PYRO Digital 500 II prometer can accommodate a wide variety of K type thermocouple tips that are suited for many types surface and immersion applications.

The PYRO Digital 500 II digital thermometer is easy to operate and requires no external power source. Simply screw the appropriate thermocouple and extension arm to the PYRO Digital 500 Pyrometer. The operator can adjust the extension arm angle to target "knuckle" as required for the application. After the Digital 500 Pyrometer contacts the surface of the target or is immersed into the molten metal being measured the temperature is read on the direct reading digital display. PYRO's Digital 500's peak hold feature permits the display of the highest temperature measured.
