A room thermostat controls the heating in your home. If the room's temperature drops below your chosen temperature, the thermostat will switch on. Once the room has reached the chosen temperature, the thermostat will turn the heating off, preventing overheating and reducing energy consumption. This can help reduce your home's energy consumption. A digital thermometer uses internal sensors that produce resistance, voltage or current change when there is a change in temperature. There are 3 main types which are RTD, thermistor or thermocouple. The digital display shows the temperature reading in a clear and precise format, making it easy for users to interpret the results. Digital thermometer types Panel and wall-mount thermometers are permanently fixed. They are used for continuous and low maintenance applications.

The robust design and strong magnet of the Stove Thermometer means that it’s suitable for use on any hot steel or iron surface, including stoves, BBQ, ranges, patio heaters, flue pipes or chimineas. RS offers an extensive range of high-quality digital instruments from leading brands including Fluke, Testo, Digitron, Hanna Instruments, Comark and of course RS PRO. The magnetic Thermometer clearly displays the temperature of your stove, enabling you to maintain a safe and efficient operating temperature and reduce fuel consumption.The optimum position is on the flue collar, or if not practical, as close to the collar as possible for a stable reliable place for monitoring the stove and flue gas temperature . Place the Thermometer on the top, front, or side of a flat or curved surface. The built-in magnet will maintain its hold on steel up to temperatures of around 800°F (425°C).

Bench thermometers are used in laboratories and test stations. They are larger and more industrial than handheld units. Bench thermometers typically use thermocouple probes such as type K, J, N, R and T. We also offer an excellent in-house calibration service if required. See here for more details about our calibration services How does a digital thermometer work? Hand-Held thermometers are portable battery-operated devices with additional plugin probes. Probes can vary in type depending on the application. Popular probe types for handheld thermometers include insertion, surface or air probes. Fridge and freezer thermometers are used to indicate the temperature in industrial and commercial fridges and freezers. Temperature regulation must be monitored and maintained as a rise in temperature readings could spoil goods What are the applications for Digital Thermometers? A digital thermometer is a scientific instrument used to measure temperature. Digital thermometers use a probe to take the temperature and a numerical reading is clearly displayed on an LCD screen. They produce accurate readings and usually display the results in one decimal place. This makes them a popular choice as they tend to be more precise than liquid-type thermometers.
