REOTEMP

What is the difference between soil and sanitary dial thermometers?

Soil thermometers are designed for measuring the temperature of soil in agricultural and environmental applications, featuring a long probe for insertion into the ground. These Reotemp compost thermometers are crucial for monitoring soil temperature conditions relevant to plant growth and microbial activity. On the other hand, sanitary dial thermometers are specifically engineered for use in the food and beverage industry, particularly in processes where hygiene and sanitation are paramount. These thermometers adhere to strict sanitary standards, often featuring a smooth, easy-to-clean design and materials that withstand frequent washdowns.

How do I clean and maintain Reotemp pocket thermometers?

• Gently wipe the thermometer with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt.
• Use mild soap and water for stubborn stains, avoiding harsh chemicals.
• Air-dry the thermometer thoroughly before storing it to prevent moisture damage.
• Inspect the probe for any signs of damage or wear during cleaning.

When should I replace a dial thermometer?

• Replace if the thermometer shows signs of physical damage or corrosion.
• Consider replacement if readings become consistently inaccurate.
• Replace a dial thermometer if the lens or dial face is cracked or clouded.
• Regularly check for any deviations from calibration or standards.
• Upgrade when more accurate or specialised temperature measurements are required.

What factors should I consider while choosing a thermometer accessory?

• Ensure compatibility with your thermometer model.
• Choose based on intended use and application.
• Opt for durable materials for longevity.
