Sanitary Thermocouple Probes for Liquids and Gases
Designed to measure temperature in dairy and food-processing applications, these probes are built to maintain sanitary standards. They have a sanitary quick-clamp connection that’s easy to disconnect for cleaning. IP65 and NEMA 4 rated, they seal out water from washdowns from top to bottom. The probes are polished stainless steel, so they're easy to clean and won't corrode from harsh cleaning chemicals or immersion in liquids or gases. The stainless steel also shields the sensor inside from impact, while magnesium oxide protects the wiring. Remove the cap on the head to wire the thermocouple to your application. The fitting is welded on, so you can’t adjust the probe’s length.
Pick the thermocouple type that best covers the temperature range you expect your liquid or gas to be. You should also make sure the thermocouple type you choose is compatible with the device you plan to connect it to. They’re often used with temperature controllers, thermometers, and other temperature-reading devices.
These thermocouples are manufactured to conform to ASTM E230 for accuracy. Accuracy is how far off the reported value is from the actual temperature.

Sanitary RTD Probe Transmitters with Digital Display for Liquids and Gases
Check the temperature of liquids in hygienic applications such as food or pharmaceutical lines and tanks. Certified by 3-A to meet sanitary design standards, the parts of these probes that will touch liquid are highly polished to minimize spots where bacteria could grow. They're made of stainless steel, so they won't corrode from harsh cleaners and sanitizers. The housing is IP69K rated, meaning it withstands high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns that are common in hygienic cleaning practices. They have a flange that will connect to sanitary quick-clamp fittings (also known as tri-clamp fittings); they're easy to connect and remove from your line.
Program these probes with the touch screen, and select one of three colors as a visual alert for events in your process such as irregular or fluctuating temperatures. The head swivels 345° and the face rotates all the way around, so you can mount the sensor at any angle and still see the display. To trigger actions in your process line, connect these probes to remote displays, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and other control equipment with the M12 plug. These probes meet DIN EN 60751, an industry standard for accuracy. They’re also CE marked, meaning they meet European Union safety standards.

Non-Contact Forehead Thermometers
These thermometers take touch-free readings in a single second with an infrared sensor. Unlike traditional thermometers, they don’t need to be disinfected between uses, so you can quickly take temperatures from multiple people without the risk of spreading illness. The digital LCD display is easy to read even in dim lighting. These thermometers glow green, orange, or red to indicate normal, elevated, or high body temperatures.
All are registered with the FDA for use as a medical device. They also meet ISO 13485 standards for medical device design and manufacturing.
These thermometers cannot be sold to Canada due to import regulations.
