PCE-T395 contact thermometer
for measurements over an extended period, with memory, RS-232 interface and software

The PCE-T395 contact thermometer is a digital device with four input channels powered by batteries and has memory for storing up to 16,000 readings (4000 per channel). The software of the thermometer is in English and comes included in the order, making it possible to read values stored in the contact thermometer's memory.  This data can be transferred to a computer allowing for analysis of temperature readings. Time intervals can be programmed for using the thermometer as a data logger ensuring that all readings get stored over an extended period of time. Another model of thermometer available is the PCE-T390 which has various channels allowing for the connection of temperature sensors / type-K thermal elements but does not have an internal memory.
The contact thermometer can be used as a data logger while connected to a computer. This is to say that measurements can be made in situ or the thermometer can be programmed to take measurements when the user requires. The display simultaneously shows the temperature readings of all four channels when they have four sensors connected.
Follow this interface protocol link for contact thermometers and you will find a short extract. The PCE-T395 thermometer can be DIN ISO calibrated, including a corresponding control certificate. If you need a thermometer with a highly accurate PT-100 sensor, see the PCE-317 thermometer. If you wish to see another type of thermometer, click here.

Temperature units

Temperature is a physical magnitude that expresses the degree or level of hot or cold of our bodies or of the environment. In the international system of units, the unit of temperature is the Kelvin. Below we will speak generally about other units of measurement for temperature.
First we must distinguish between two categories of measurement units for temperature: absolute and relative.

- Absolute are those related to absolute zero which is the lowest theoretical temperature possible and corresponds to the point at which molecules and atoms have the lowest level of thermal energy possible.

- Kelvin (international system): represented by the letter 'K' and does not use the 'º' symbol repre-senting degrees. It was created by William Thompson upon the basis of degrees Celsius, establishing point zero as being absolute zero (-273.15 ºC) and conserving the same dimensions for degrees. This was established as part of the international system of units in 1954.

- Relative because they compare with a physical-chemical process established that always produces the same temperature.
       - Degrees Celsius (international system): or also referred to as degrees centigrade is represented by this symbol: ºC. This unit of measurement defines the freezing point of water as being 0º and the boiling point of water as being 100º, both measurements at an atmospheric pressure and divided into a scale of 100 equal parts in which each one corresponds with 1 degree. This scale was proposed by Anders Celsius, a Swiss physicist and astronomer, in 1742.

- Degrees Fahrenheit (international system): this takes the division of the points between freezing and evaporation of an
ammonium chloride solution. This was proposed by Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724, establishing zero and one hundred in the scale as being the freezing and evaporation points of ammonium chloride in water. This used a mercury thermometer in which is introduced crushed ice and ammonium chloride in equal parts. This concentrated saline solution gave the lowest possible temperature in the laboratory at that time. Later, another mix of crushed ice and pure water was used, that determined the point of 30ºF, which after was fixed at 32ºF (fusion point of ice) and later the thermometer showed water vapour occurred at 212ºF (boiling point of water). The difference between these points is 180ºF, that is divided into 180 equal parts determining degrees Fahrenheit. The PCE-T395 thermometer can measure in degrees Celsius and in Fahrenheit.

Field of used for the contact thermometer

The PCE-T395 contact thermometer can be used for taking measurements in situ and thanks to its internal memory it can take readings over an extended period of time for such applications as:
  - Maintenance, diagnostics, and analyzing machines
  - Research and development, product development
  - Quality control, production and process analysis
Here you will find another contact thermometer with one channel, memory, RS-232 interface and software.

ISO calibration and certificationPCE-T395 contact thermometer: ISO calibration certificate
An ISO calibration certificate can be purchased for this contact thermometer. It includes a control document containing the contact details of the company and also contains a laboratory calibration and the certificate to ISO standards and will show that the thermometer meets the minimum requirements of the national body for measurements. More information with respect to:

Calibration: Control of the correction of the magnitudes of measurement for the contact thermometer, without intervention in the measurement system, or the determination of the systematic deviation of the display with respect to the real value of the magnitude of the measurement.

Calibration document or certificate: document of the technical properties of the device according to the national organization of measurement.

Calibration interval: to make correct measurements, devices must be calibrated at regular intervals. This period of time is called the calibration interval.  It's difficult to accurately determine this time period but to help you should consider the following factors:

    • Performance of the measuring instruments

    • Frequency of use

    • Operating conditions

    • Stability of previous calibrations

    • Required measurement accuracy

    • Determining factors of the quality control systems used by companies

    This means that the same user should check and control the interval between calibrations. We recommend that this internal between calibrations should be between 1 and 3 years. We can also offer our expert advice to resolve any doubts relating to the process of establishing a calibration interval.

    Take into consideration:
    When a contact thermometer is calibrated, this should be done while the temperature sensor being used with the device is attached or with the sensor that came with the thermometer attached. The accuracy of the calibration depends on the device and the sensor combined. In the case of the PCE-T395 thermometer this means that the calibration should be done for up to four temperature sensors.
