Vernier® Stainless Steel Temperature Probe

The Stainless Steel Temperature Probe can be used as a thermometer for experiments in chemistry, physics, biology, Earth science, environmental science, and more.

• Temperature sensor: 20 kΩ NTC Thermistor
• Body is constructed from grade 316 stainless steel, which provides a high level of corrosion resistance for use in the science classroom
• Probe can be left continuously in water at temperatures within the range of –40 to 150°C

This probe uses the 20 kΩ NTC Thermistor, which is a variable resistor. When the temperature increases, the resistance decreases non-linearly.

The probe handle is constructed of molded plasticized Santoprene®. While this material is very chemical resistant, we recommend that you avoid submerging the probe beyond the stainless steel portion.

Maximum temperature that the sensor can tolerate without damage: 150 °C
