Temperature Measuring Devices For Food

The scale must be in 1 c increments.

Temperature measuring devices for food.

Measuring the temperature of products inside ovens and roasters. Testo 112 high precision temperature measuring instrument is ideal for official control measurements carried out by food inspectors assessors and authorities. The mercury type and the organic usually red liquid type. Traditional contact thermometers are increasingly being replaced in the food industry by non contact infrared temperature sensors pyrometers which offer an instantaneous response time the ability to measure moving objects and because there is no need to touch the measured object improved hygiene.

This is especially important for big dishes like a whole turkey or chicken when you want to be sure that the heat of the oven has cooked all the way to the centre of the food. The main advantage of this device is it does not use any power source for their operation. This device can measure temperature from 80 o c to 600 o c. Generally speaking they come in two main classifications.

But these are not so accurate like electrical devices such as thermocouple. So that we can easily use it to measure high temperatures. Place 2 2 deep in thickest part of food can be used in roasts casseroles and soups temperature is averaged along probe from tip to 2 3 up the stem cannot measure thin foods unless inserted sideways. A bimetal bayonet style thermometer with a dial face scale with a range of 18 to 105 c 0 to 220 f may be used for certain applications in food temperature measurement.

The dial face should be a minimum of about 1 inch in diameter and is usually available in larger sizes. Check the temperature of thin foods like hamburgers. Once you insert a food thermometer you can measure the internal temperature of the food.
