Surface Temperature Thermometer increases reading accuracy, speed.

Press Release Summary:




Incorporating micro-thermocouple technology with digital readout that instantly displays surface temperatures with accuracy of ±2%, Tempil® Estik® eliminates need for supervisors to carry multiple temperature indicators. Temperature of polished or non-polished surfaces can be measured from 32 to 999°F, and readout is in selectable °F or °C. Designed for use with solid stationary surfaces, thermometer is not subject to such variables as calibration or distance from surface.



Original Press Release:



Newly Enhanced Estik® from Tempil® Eliminates Need for Multiple Temperature Indicators on Jobsites; Increases Accuracy, Speed, Efficiency



Micro-thermocouple technology provides for precise direct surface touch measurement without need for constant calibration adjustments



ELK GROVE VILLAGE, Ill. – Temperature measurement for welding, fabrication, assembly and related jobsites has reached new standards for accuracy and efficiency with the introduction of a newly enhanced Tempil Estik® electronic surface thermometer.



Engineered for a wide range of critical temperature monitoring applications, Tempil’s upgraded Estik eliminates the need for supervisors to carry multiple temperature indicators, while increasing the ease and accuracy of jobsite inspections.



Estik delivers temperature readings with the industry’s highest level of accuracy by directly touching the surface of the materials being inspected.  It incorporates the latest in micro-thermocouple technology with a bold digital readout that instantly displays surface temperatures with an accuracy of +/- 2%. Measuring surface temperature from 32°F to 999°F (0°C to 537°C), Tempil Estik automatically reads all standard pre-heating, interpass and cool-down temperatures, and can be used on polished or non-polished surfaces. Unlike other types of electronic technology, such as infrared guns, it is not subject to variables like calibration or distance from the surface, and it is not necessary to know what the emissivity of the surface material is in order to obtain an accurate reading.



Tempil Estik is quick and easy to use. The user simply presses the I/O button on the side of the barrel, touches the thermocouple directly on the work surface, and the temperature will be quickly displayed on the easy-to-read, back-lit digital display located on top of the unit.  Making multiple measurements is as easy as pressing the reset button and moving the thermocouple contact point to another area to display the new temperature.



“A supervisor on an industrial jobsite will typically carry an infrared gun, which is subject to significant inaccuracy if not regularly and properly calibrated and adjusted for each surface that is inspected,” said  Benjamin Kleiman, director of marketing for LA-CO Industries, manufacturer of Tempil brands.  “Estik’s direct-touch measurement technology eliminates the need for multiple indicators, while its single-button operation delivers an accurate temperature reading every time without the need for constant setting adjustments.”



The Tempil Estik is designed for use with solid stationary surfaces, including pipeline construction (pressure and non-pressure), oil rig fabrication, welding and metal fabrication, motor and bearings housings, and overall industrial maintenance.



Estik features an ergonomic hand grip, three-digit backlit display, and selectable readouts in Fahrenheit or Celsius.  Powered by three AAA batteries, Estik requires no external wires or cables and includes an automatic shut-off function. A certified NIST Traceable unit is also available.  This specially tested and certified product comes with a temperature verification certificate that documents conformity to NIST standards and is included with the product.
