There are a wide variety of Temperature Data Loggers for different industries. To know which one is right for you. We have prepared the following questions for you:
What should be measured??
Temperature measurement in the room, in the refrigerator/freezer, incubator, oven, environmental chambers, autoclave, conveyor oven, refrigerated truck, worldwide delivery. Each uses has a suitable Data Logger.
For the room, choose a temperature Data Logger with a large display, for hanging on a wall or with a table stand. For a vacuum oven, a conveyor oven and an autoclave, a data logger that is resistant to high temperatures will fit.
The oven and laboratory incubator will serve as a multi-channel DataLogger with flexible sensors that will be attached to shelves at multiple points and perform temperature mapping.
For a refrigerated truck, choose a DataLogger without a display, as small as possible and in many cases disposable and cheap.
Is the DataLogger inside or outside the device?
If the Data Logger is outside the device, temperature sensors will be needed to be connected between the device and the Data Logger.
Type of communication and connection for downloading the data
RS-232 connection
USB connection
WIFI connection
BLUETOOTH connection
What are the temperature points that need to be measured?
Are several sensors measured at one point or are there scattered inside the device?
Depending on the choice of single, double, or multi-channel Temperature Data Logger.
What is the temperature range measured?
Depending on the range, the Temperature Data Logger and the appropriate temperature sensors must be selected.Flexible thermocouple sensors are usually used. It is easy to place in the test facility in a simple way.
For low temperatures 100- to 100+, T-type thermocouple wires are used, insulated with 24 gage thick Teflon.
For higher temperatures, thermocouple K wires, Teflon insulators up to 300 Celsius and glass fibers up to 500 Celsius are used.
