| Thermometer Type | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Dial Thermometer | Dial thermometers use a metal pointer on a circular scale to indicate temperature measurements. They have two main components: the needle and a temperature sensor. Dial thermometers are bimetal or bi-metallic, liquid or gas-filled, and vapor-tension-based. | ||
| Digital Thermometer | Digital thermometers are portable temperature sensing devices that have permanent probes and a digital display. Digital thermometers use RTDs, thermocouples or thermistor sensing components. | ||
| Glass Thermometer | The thermometer is made of glass and is filled with a liquid that reacts to temperature. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
| |||
| Technology Type: | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Bimetal | Uses a bimetal spring as temperature sensing element. | ||
| Mercury | Mercury is a liquid metal used in thermometers. | ||
| Red Alcohol Spirit Fill | Red alcohol is used in thermometers to indicate temperature. It is safer than mercury. | ||
| Liquid or Gas Actuated (Vapor-Tension or Bellows) | Uses a gas/vapor as temperature sensing element. | ||
| Thermocouple Technology | Thermometer senses temperature using thermocouples. | ||
| RTD Technology | Thermometer senses temperature using RTDs. | ||
| Thermistor Technology | Thermometer senses temperature using thermistors. | ||
| Thermal Pyrometer / Detector | Infrared temperature sensors based on thermal technology may include: bolometers (variable resistance / thermistor), thermocouples / thermopiles, or pyrometers / pyroelectric detectors. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary thermometer. | ||

| Scale | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Fahrenheit | Dial/display graduated in these units. | ||
| Celsius | Dial/display graduated in these units. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
| |||
| Fahrenheit Scale | |||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Fahrenheit Scale Divisions: | Scale division describes the smallest division of degrees that can be displayed on the thermometer. This affects the accuracy of the temperature reading. | ||
| Search Logic: | All matching products will have a value less than or equal to the specified value. | ||
| |||
| Celsius Scale | |||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||

|
|
| ||
| General Features | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Has Internal Timers or Counters | Thermometer has internal timer to only monitor during defined time periods or increments. | ||
| Battery Powered | The thermometer is powered by a battery. | ||
| Has Datalogger or Data Collection Capability? | Thermometer has "memory" to record data values over a period of time or ranges. | ||
| Records Min/Max Values | Thermometer records minimum and/or maximum read values during a defined time period. | ||
| Can perform Math/ Statistical Functions | Instrument can totalize or perform other math functions such as differentials, integrations etc. | ||
| Performs Self-test or Diagnostics | Thermometer can perform self-calibration features and diagnostic programs. | ||
| Application Software Included | For control or for monitoring power supply performance. | ||
| Clip-on Magnifier | Aids in reading numbers. | ||
| Designed for use with Thermowell | The thermometer is designed for use with a thermowell. | ||
| Direct Immersion | The thermometer is configured for direct immersion in a solution. | ||
| Explosion Proof | A device that can withstand an explosion of gases within its body and prevent the explosion of gases surrounding it due to sparks, flashes or the explosion of the container itself. The thermometer is also able to maintain an external temperature which will not ignite the surrounding gases. | ||
| Flange fitting | The thermometer has a flange fitting. | ||
| Loop for String or Hook | The thermometer has a loop to connect a string or hook. | ||
| NIST Traceable or ASTM Certified | Subjected to certified testing procedures and documented. | ||
| No-Roll Cap | Rubber cap to keep the thermometer from rolling. | ||
| NPT fitting | The thermometer has an NPT fitting. | ||
| Small and made to carry in pocket. Has a clip and/or sheath. | |||
| Probe | The thermometer has a probe. | ||
| Protective Metal Sheath | The thermometer has a protective metal sheath. | ||
| Splash Proof, Watertight or Direct Immersion | Thermometer is rated for wash-down or wet environment applications. | ||
| Surface | The thermometer is configured to be used for surface measurements only. | ||
| Teflon Encapsulation | Used to monitor acids and other hazardous materials | ||
| Zero adjustment | Can reset zero point. | ||
| Laser Spot Aiming / Sighting | The device has a laser to show where measurement is being taken from. Laser is not used to sense temperature. | ||
| Automatic Emissivity Adjustment | The emissivity adjustment allows the device to detect only the emitted IR as opposed to the reflected or transmitted IR which would give a false temperature reading. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
