The Tempilstik

Extensively used in our welding industry are these accurately manufactured temperature indicators. A wide range of specific temperature sticks are available, as listed below. Tempilstik covers the most popular temperature measurement requirements needed for welding and metal fabrication, where pre-heat / post-weld / stress relieving, annealing or controlling of inter-pass temperatures are required. Tempilstiks covers even a wider application range than that required by various welding applications i.e. in determining operating temperatures of – bearings / transformers / steam traps / molds / motors / hydraulic systems / heat exchangers / electronic components etc.

Advantages

Inexpensive alternative for temperature measurement Easy to use by anyone / anywhere – no gauges or electronics Reliably accurate – melts within + - 1% of rated temperature Improved efficiency - Operator carry’s it in his pocket like a pencil Long lasting chalk – adjustable holder Most can be certified lead and sulfur free

How to use the Tempilstik

Mark the workpiece before heating or stoke the workpiece during heating. When the rated temperature is reached a distinct melt (smear) will become evident.
