Thermostats

For uses such as welding, metal fabrication, heat treating, annealing and stress relieving, a temperature indicator can be a useful tool and a quick solution for determining proper temperature. Materials need to be heated to the right temperature to be properly manipulated. When browsing our selection of measuring, leveling and marking tools, consider a temperature indicator for your fabrication needs. For other applications where a quick time temperature indicator is required, choose from our selection of thermometers to find the best solution for home, work, or school.

How to Use

Temperature indicators are crayons created in a range of sensitivities to temperature that are used to mark metal materials on the side opposite of a heat source to determine their temperature. When the crayon corresponding to the desired temperature has melted, but the next degree of crayon has not, the material is at the proper temperature.Temperature indicator crayons are suitable for a wide range of temperatures and can be used to check temperatures throughout the heating process. The range of temperatures that can be shown with temperature indicators starts at 100° and goes up to around 2,500°; choose the temperature indicators that correspond to the range of temperatures you will be working with.

Simple and Safe

Temperature indicators require no gauges, electronics, batteries or power to use. They are specially formulated so as not to damage the marked surface. Most temperature indicators have convenient holders, providing a strong grip on the crayon and guarding against slippage.
