Can I use the same thermometer if taking air temperature and the temperature between packs of product?
Yes. There are a range of thermometers available which incorporate connectors allowing the use of interchangeable probes for different applications.
Do I need to calibrate my Hand Held Thermometers?

- Never submerge the instrument and probe in water or other liquids/solutions
- Do not disconnect the probe from the instrument by pulling the cable (Only applicable if probe is removable)
- Do not wrap the cable around the instrument
Is it possible to log the temperature of product whilst in transit?
Yes the temperature of product can easily be tracked with the use of data loggers, verifying that products have been stored and transported at the correct temperatures, thus delivering quality produce to their customers. The data receivd can be downloaded for analysis and any descrepencies noted.
