Fiction! Stable, ideal for low temperatures.

I am finishing my PhD in chemistry and we make many selective traps to capture distillations where we create a vacuum of about 0.1 torr and the synthesis components based on separate volatility. I have to regularly run acetone/liquid nitrogen baths in -20 to -70 degrees Celsius and an error in bath temperature measurement can be catastrophic. These thermocouples are great. I have 6 of these which is more than I need but love the gear. They are very responsive and, as the description says, the read error is around +/- 1C. I calibrated them using pressure to boiling water temperature that day and then just wanted to see what they read for liquid nitrogen. He registered a temperature of -192ยฐC, which is only 4ยฐC at such a low temperature.

Pros
  • Accuracy: +/- 0.5ยฐC or 0.4%
Cons
  • Upgradable
