Fast Response Penetration Probe

Model: 103-159/303-159

ThermoWorks Image
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.
Range: -58 to 482°F (-50 to 250°C)
Handle (ABS blend): Max temp 221°F (105°C)
Cable (PVC): 14 to 221°F (-10 to 105°C)
Time Constant
: 0.6 seconds typical in liquid. 3-4 seconds full reading.
Accuracy
: ±0.9°F (±0.5°C) from 32 to 212°F (0 to 100°C)

5" Penetration Probe

Model: 103-160/303-160

ThermoWorks Image
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.
Range: -58 to 482°F (-50 to 250°C)
Handle (ABS blend): Max temp 221°F (105°C)
Cable: 14 to 221°F (-10 to 105°C)
Time Constant: Less than 2 seconds typical in liquid. Less than 10 seconds full reading.
Accuracy: ±0.9°F (±0.5°C) from 32 to 212°F (0 to 100°C)

Fast Response Meat Probe

Model: 113-151

ThermoWorks Image
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.
