In production, in medicine or in agricultureAn economy measuring ambient temperature or various materials is necessary to ensure the high quality of products or services. For such manipulations it is necessary to use specialized thermometers that can provide the necessary information.
Thermometers contact series TK-5
Thermometer contact TK-5.06 is used as a device for determining the temperature of various bodies, materials, gases, liquids and the environment. The process of measuring temperature indicators is performed using probes of various types and types.
The devices are used for various purposes, in particular, for monitoring temperatures and measuring relative humidity:
- in industry of all kinds;
- at communal and heat power enterprises;
- during laboratory (scientific) research, etc.
The device and the principle of operation
A contact thermometer of this type is constructed from a housing with an electronic unit and a set of interchangeable probes used to measure the temperature of the required surface, medium, or material.
As a thermosensitive element of a thermometer, ina thermoelectric transducer with a NSX was installed in the probe. And to measure the humidity of the environment, the device is equipped with capacitive humidity sensors. In this case, thermometers of this type have a function that calculates the temperature of the dew point according to the Hoff-Gretch formula.
The device's electrical block converts the signal coming from the probe input, the indicator of which is displayed on the device's display.
Areas of use
Contact thermometer TK-5.06 is used in various spheres of life and work of a person:
- Housing and communal services;
- thermoelectric power;
- agriculture;
- oil and gas and coal mining industries;
- food and metallurgical industries;
- machine-building sphere;
- transport and construction industries.
Temperature control in the sphere of housing and communal services is madefor determining the parameters of the surfaces of pipes, engines, various equipment, as well as for measuring the temperatures of liquids in the water supply and heating systems. As a rule, employees of the housing and communal services use the device to fix the indicators of the humidity of the external environment in the premises and outside or in the air in the ventilations.
In the heat and power industry, a contact digital thermometer is used to measure data of various liquids in water supply systems of all types or ventilation systems.
In agriculture, temperature measuring devicesare used to measure data on temperature and humidity in food storage and greenhouses of various types, to determine soil indices, and also as a controller of vital signs in the process of growing livestock and poultry on farms.
Oil and gas and coal industries usecontact thermometer to determine the temperature of the surfaces of pipes during welding, to monitor the performance of air mixtures, various liquids and surfaces of equipment. Also, the use of a thermometer is necessary in the storage of petroleum products, on tankers, in tanks, at gas stations, in wells, and when mining at mines.
In the food industry, temperature measurement -the main indicator to the quality production of goods. A contact thermometer is used to determine the performance of surfaces, liquids, air, solids and viscous materials. Also, the device is needed to make control of the dew point temperature, as well as fixing the relative humidity of the ambient air, while monitoring technological processes in production, during storage and processing of products.
The engineering industry requires monitoring.temperatures during painting works, manufacturing of parts and blanks and their further heat treatment, during welding works and for monitoring environmental indicators during environmental testing of products.
In the construction industry, asphalt laying processes, the production of concrete and construction materials require constant temperature control, for this purpose a contact thermometer is used.
The smelting and bottling of non-ferrous metals require temperature control in metallurgy.
In the transport sector, thermometers are used tocontrol during transportation of various industrial products and food products that require specific indicators of storage temperature. In railway transport, a clear control of the temperature indicators of bearings on wheel pairs of rolling stock and rails is necessary to avoid emergency situations.
Terms of Use
Contact thermometer requires certain conditionsfor its operation. So, indicators of ambient temperature should not be below -20 degrees Celsius, but they should not exceed +50 degrees. Relative air humidity should be kept within 80% at a temperature of +35 degrees Celsius and atmospheric pressure kPa 86-106.
Functions and features
Functional electronic contact thermometerquite extensive, which is why a mercury contact thermometer is used quite rarely. So, in the electronic thermometer there is a function that indicates the dimension of the measured values, there is also a measurement of temperatures from -40 to +200 degrees Celsius and above, measurements of the relative humidity of the air, fixing the minimum and maximum values of temperature, the calculation of the "dew point". The indicator of the device is equipped with a backlight and auto-shutdown of the device after 5 minutes of inactivity.
Features
The main features of contact thermometers aretheir high accuracy, built-in function, which allows to measure the humidity and the calculation of the temperature of the dew points, as well as advanced equipment with several types of probes. The device is powered by AA batteries, while the device has low power consumption (about 350 hours of operation with one set of batteries). It has a high accuracy of indicators and an indicator with large symbols on it.
