Adhesive-Back Thermocouple Probes for Surfaces
Simply peel off the adhesive backing on these probes and press them onto a surface to measure its temperature. Without bulky mounting hardware, the thin sensor can slide into crammed spots. You can connect them to controllers, thermometers, and other temperature reading devices to view and store measurements. Pick the thermocouple type that best covers the temperature range you expect your surface to be. Make sure the thermocouple type you choose is compatible with the device you plan to connect it to.
These thermocouples are manufactured to conform to ASTM E230 for accuracy. Accuracy is how far off the reported value is from the actual temperature.
Note: When installing probes with wire leads, the red wire is negative.

Hand-Held Magnetic Thermocouple Probes for Surfaces
Measure temperatures around your facility by sticking these probes onto magnetic surfaces. They come attached to a cable that's ready to plug into a handheld thermometer. The handle provides a comfortable grip as you move from spot to spot. It also keeps your hands at a safe distance from hot surfaces as you use the probe. Thanks to their high-strength magnet, they'll stay firmly in place even in high-vibration spots, like on motors and bearings. For accurate readings, a spring pushes the probe tip forward, keeping the tip in constant contact with the surface you're measuring.
Pick the thermocouple type that best covers the temperature range you expect your surface to be. You should also make sure the thermocouple type you choose is compatible with the devices you plan to connect it to.
