Description
This compact hand‑held thermometer is designed for professionals or technicians needing a portable yet capable thermometer. The probe is 4.5 in (114 mm) long and made of stainless steel, which folds neatly into the body of the device for safe storage and transport. The probe arm locks at preset angles of 45°, 90°, 135°, and 180° to give flexibility when measuring surfaces, liquids, or semi‑solids while keeping the display visible.The temperature range is broad for its size: from –50 °C up to +300 °C (–58 °F to 572 °F). Within approximately –30 °C to +250 °C (–22 °F to +482 °F) the stated accuracy is ±1 °C (±1.8 °F). Resolution is 0.1° in the finer portion of the range.
