Product Information

Dirt or moisture ingress can also cause problems for certain thermometer types. However, most models designed for outdoor use will be IP rated against this. You will almost always see at least one type of temperature gauge in car dashboards, for monitoring engine coolant temperature. Medical facilities have access to various sorts of body temperature gauge. A water temperature gauge for use on pipes and ducting (including flow and return thermometers) can be found in a professional plumbing toolkit. You can buy indoor office and commercial room temperature gauges and outdoor air temperature gauges in a huge variety of designs and styles. They can be as small and unobtrusive as a magnetic thermometer for wood stoves, while a heavy-duty industrial temperature gauge, HVAC or expansion temperature gauge will often be much larger and more robust. I did want to spend some time on the benefits of having and using a GOOD stove thermometer. WHY A DIGITAL THERMOMETER IS CRITICAL Wood burning stoves should always be operated as per the manufacturer’s guidelines and best burning practices but adding too much or too little wood, or allowing too little or too much air into the stove, at any one time can affect how efficient the fire is burning and how much heat is being produced.

The way this gadget measures the temperature of surfaces and gives a speedy and precise response rate, it is one of our best products. The maximum temperature it can measure is 500 degrees Celsius. The small size makes it easily portable and adjustable. We place our stove top thermometer on the edge of the top surface of our multi fuel stove so that we can keep an eye on the temperatures.

The Bi-metal pipe thermometer takes some time in detecting the temperature of pipes and radiators. The spring provided is ideal for small pipes and in case of larger pipes you can use a tie-wrap, a larger spring or a wire. These thermometers need recalibration and it is quite easy to do so with these kinds of pipe and radiator thermometers. If, however, you need better, swift readings, we suggest you buy the infrared thermometers which have a greater accuracy and exactness in the readings they provide. Dial thermometer gauges are often found in industrial and commercial settings. They are also common in certain everyday domestic settings and appliances. The accuracy is still +/- 20 degrees as the display is analog and relies on the heat acting on the spring actuated display. The temperature is going to react faster than most thermometers which must transfer the temperature through the metal flue or stove wall. This transfer of the temperature slows the response to the display. With a change in the wind speed, the temperature variation could be 10 to 20 degrees in just a few minutes. This change can be detected by the minute changes noticed on a digital display allowing an owner to close the airflow and reduce the chance of a chimney fire or just a waste of wood burnt up as wasted heat up the chimney. Each model of wood stove is designed, built, and operated differently, and they can come in a range of sizes and heat output depending on your needs.

We have professional infrared digital thermometers to help people from the industry that need professional, advanced thermometers. One such thermometer is the Infrared Thermometer DT-8862 Professional for high temperatures. Appropriately priced, these thermometers deserve a place in the tool box of any professional. Also available in variations for extreme high temperatures, this thermometer is the best there is. A wood stove thermometer is a small non-electric thermometer that provides a reading of the temperature that the stove is burning at. Wood stove thermometers typically provide an optimum temperature range on the dial in which to aim for. Understanding exactly how a temperature sensor works would require knowledge of thermodynamic law. Still, it is important to be aware that different types of thermometers and heat sensors work in different ways. The key to both is the ideal of a bimetal thermometer.Analogue dial temperature gauges work on a similar principle. However, instead of the heat change generating an electrical signal, it physically alters the positions and properties of small metal components in the instrument sensor. The dial needle is tuned to display these changes as a number value. This is the bare bones magnetic thermometer. A mass produced basic wood stove thermometer that will give a +/- 30 degrees temperature. This thermometer will only read up to 500 degrees fahrenheit. This should work during normal stove operation but may be a problem when the stove or stove pipe becomes extra hot during a wind event or creosote burn off.

If the temperature of a stove is indicated to be higher than optimal on a wood stove thermometer then the fire can be burning too fast to be efficient with much of the heat being lost up the flue. High-quality dial thermometers and temperature gauges are manufactured by many leading brands. You will find a diverse variety of models and configurations available online. Some models may also combine other types of digital reader - such as a hygrometer (for humidity), ammeter, auto meter, pyrometer or tachometer - into a single unit.Electronic or battery-powered thermistors, thermocouples and temperature sensors - including digital thermometers - rely on an electrical signal. A digital sensor probe contains two metals (bimetallic), which generate altering voltage or resistance at different temperatures. An onboard heat sensor chip in the device can read these signal changes as accurate heat readings in Fahrenheit or Celsius (often both). A wood stove can be operated without a stove thermometer but can be useful in helping the user to understand how efficiently a fire inside the stove is burning. A stove thermometer can help prevent a stove from over firing or being underutilized. The magnetic thermometer we offer are ideal to attach to the radiator or pipes you intend to measure the temperature of. The temperature of the heat that is dispersed by the radiator or pipes will automatically be registered on the thermometer. These accurate readings will give you a precise idea of when to bleed the radiator to get the desired temperature. These Pipe and Radiator Thermometers can also be used to regulate the temperature of pipes in winters. This prevents the pipes from freezing and adding to daily stress. The device rapidly detects the temperatures of pipes and radiators with precision, and has dual laser sighting for added accuracy and meticulousness. The device also comes with an auto hold option and a resolution of 0.1°C. The response time is super-fast; at less than 150 milliseconds, this device can put all other infrared Pipe and Radiator Thermometers to shame. The device also comes with a carrying protective cover to make it easier to carry while shielding it from damage at the same time. Under normal operation a stove will vary 15 to 20 degrees F. over an hour under normal conditions. Over the course of a typical winter day a stove may vary 100 to 150 degrees F. throughout an 8 hour day after stoking and burning down. With this normal heat up and cool down a simple analog dial thermometer will keep a stove owner informed as needed.
