A temperature indicator is a very easy to use and cost-effective control device that helps to determine and display, e. g., the duration of exposure to excessive temperatures. A temperature indicator can be used in fridges, dryers, furnaces and other technical equipment and many models are also suitable for the measurement and indication of various other physical parameters like weight, pressure, humidity, etc. t is useful in many different sectors, for instance in laboratories and in production processes where it is crucial to be aware of changes in temperature. It plays a particularly important role in quality control. A temperature indicator is frequently used to control the quality of raw materials and semi-finished products and to control finished products during storage and transportation, to easily detect products that may be spoilt, to reduce the risk of manufacturing low-quality, defective products, to name only a few of the numerous possibilities to benefit from a temperature indicator. The use of an indicator even helps staff to be more careful with the products and to follow the relevant rules.
A temperature indicator is often equipped with an interface for data transfer and can be configured via the PC or with the help of the keys situated directly on the front panel. Measurement results can easily be read out from large LED displays or transferred to a PC for further analysis. A PCE temperature indicator stands out by its high accuracy.
