VeeGee Digital Dual Scale Thermometer, with Polycarbonate Face, 5" Stem, -50 to 150 Degree C and -58 to 302 Degree F

The VeeGee digital dual-scale thermometer with 5" stem is used to measure air or liquid temperatures in laboratory test tubes, beakers, and flasks and is also used in food processing, refrigeration, and green house systems. The thermometer measures temperature from -50 to 150 degrees C (-58 to 302 degrees F), with an accuracy of + or - 1 degree C/2 degrees F. The 127mm/5 inches stainless steel stem probe is provided with a case with a pocket clip for protection. The head of the thermometer can be moved up to 180 degrees for viewing from any direction. The thermometer has an automatic power-off function that shuts the thermometer off after 10 min of inactivity to conserve battery power. This VeeGee thermometer is used by laboratory scientists, food-service and storage workers, and industrial gardeners.

Specifications

Digital thermometers are instruments used to measure the temperature of air, liquids, or surfaces electronically. They may measure temperature in Celsius, Fahrenheit, or both. Most digital thermometers use thermistors, which are small electronic resistors. Thermistors are made out of metals that conduct electricity within a certain range and become more conductive the warmer they get. A microcontroller inside the thermometer measures this electrical conductivity and converts it to a temperature, which is displayed on an LCD. Digital thermometers are used in a wide range of applications, including in laboratory settings, food service and storage, and in doctors' offices and hospitals.
