Spring-held Pipe
Surface Thermometer

Models 483, 486, 487, 488 F or C

These thermometers provide a fast, reliable, and economical method of measuring exterior, curved surfaces. The insulating and seating cup rests on the surface of the pipe and protects the sensor from drafts or heat from other sources. The cup is made of high temperature Ryton polyphenylene sulfide thermoplastic. The bimetallic sensor is ASTM Bimetal TM-2, heat-treated and checked for permanent calibration. The design uses a small thermal mass and provides fast response and sensitivity.

PTC Metrology® is accredited by A2LA to ISO/IEC 17025 ANSI/NCSL and Z 540-1 for NIST traceabel surface thermometer calibration services.
