Thermocouple Penetration Probes

Many styles available from heavy duty industrial sizes to fine gauge, high speed needle types. Used extensively in the food industries and in plastics, rubber and construction.

The maximum temperature listed for the probes applies to the sensor itself. Plastic handles and thermocouple plugs are rated for short term exposure of 482°F (250°C) and extended exposure of 428°F (220°C).


5" Penetration Probe
This general purpose probe is popular in the food industries. The 1/8" diameter shaft is swaged to a smaller diameter and given a very sharp tip for easy penetration in most semi-solids. Also suitable for liquids and air temperatures. Very durable probe recommended for hard daily use. Resists bending and breaking (however, for frozen foods choose a heavy duty probe from below). Fairly quick response time takes only about 8 seconds to a complete reading. Max temp: 482°F (250°C).

303-160 5" Penetration Probe, coiled cable


12" Penetration Probe
Same as above but with a 12" shaft for better reaching into deep containers or hot environments. Great for testing meats in rotisseries, ovens or barbeque applications. Max temp: 482°F (250°C).
103-168 12" Penetration Probe, flat cable
303-168 12" Penetration Probe, coiled cable


Fast Response Penetration Probe
We start with a 1/8" shaft and reduce the diameter to 1/16" (1.5mm) at 1/2" from the needle tip. This gives you a compromise between durability and the better speed of a needle type probe. Used in liquids and soft semi-solids including rubber, plastics and similar materials. A complete reading takes only 4 or 5 seconds. Max temp: 482°F (250°C).

5" Needle Probe
Great for fast measurements in foods, plastics, rubbers, etc… The 5" shaft is 1/16" all the way to the needle tip providing a small mass and fast response. Great for fish or other delicate foods. Max temp: 482°F (250°C).

303-100 5" Needle Probe, coiled cable


2" Needle Probe
A handheld needle probe similar to above but with only a 2" shaft. The shorter shaft is less likely to be bent. Perfect for many food applications but also useful for other industrial purposes. Max temp: 482°F (250°C).

303-101 2" Needle Probe, coiled cable



Fast Response Meat Probe
Originally designed for measuring burgers, steaks and thin meat portions, this probe is often chosen for other purposes because it’s diameter is smaller than our handheld needle probe and it’s a bit quicker while leaving an even smaller hole. The 3.35" length allows you to reach the center of even a large burger when entering from the side, or it will reach the center of roasts for an extremely fast measurement. An optional detachable coiled or straight extension lead is also available. Max temp: 482°F (250°C).

XSK-3M-MF Straight Type K Extension lead, 118" (3 meters)


Miniature Needle Probe
Use this probe for very small samples or just speedy response times. The PTFE cable and sealed junction allow the use of this probe in ovens or other cooking processes. Readings take only 2-3 seconds to a full value. Two cable lengths are stocked. Max temp: 482°F (250°C).

THS-113-182 Miniature Needle Probe, 78" cable


Burger Probe
The burger probe is designed for the busy fast food kitchen. A fine gauge needle tip reads meat temperatures very quickly and without a “heatsink" effect that would reduce the true temperature. A stainless steel disc is affixed to the probe which acts as a built-in depth gauge to ensure the correct insertion depth (1/4") each and every time. Max. temp. 482°F

303-745 Burger Probe, coiled cable


Plug-Mounted Fast Response Penetration Probe
This plug mounted fast response probe is designed for measuring temperature very quickly. This is the same probe as we use on the Super-Fast Thermapen and Fast Response Penetration Probe. Max temp: 482°F (250°C).
113-159 Plug-Mounted Fast Response Penetration Probe


Plug-Mounted FEP "Airline" Penetration Probe
The FEP (plastic) penetration probe is designed especially for airlines and other locations where safety is paramount. Ideal for measuring liquids and semi-solids. Probe length is 2". Max temp: 392°F (250°C).
113-155 Plug-Mounted FEP Airline Penetration Probe


Plug-Mounted Penetration Probe
Sharp penetration probe is mounted directly to an industry-standard miniature thermocouple plug. No cable included. Plug this probe directly into most thermocouple meters for a one-handed thermometer (meter/probe combination). Probe tip is swaged to a smaller diameter then sharpened for fast measurements and easy penetration. An optional detachable coiled or straight extension lead is also available. Max temp: 482°F (250°C).

Oven Cooking Probe
A high-quality penetration probe for insertion in meats or food products in ovens, smokehouses or cooking processes. A rugged stainless steel handle provides a good grip for inserting or removing the probe. The probe tip is swaged then sharpened for fast response and easy-insertion. Provided with a 78" PTFE insulated cable. Longer cables on request. Max temp: 482°F (250°C).
113-170 Oven Cooking Probe, w/handle


Low-Cost Oven Cooking Probe
This is a simpler version of our oven probe. There is no handle but the stainless steel probe is still swaged and pointed and you get a 78" PTFE cable. Max temp: 482°F (250°C).
113-173 Low-Cost Oven Cooking Probe
