Overview
The UK Thermax Irreversible Thermometric Paper (model: 4 grid micro 8) is a series of temperature test labels that record the highest temperature reached by the label. These self-adhesive Thermometric Papers are composed of temperature-sensitive elements, sealed between heat-resistant substrates with transparent windows, each of which irreversibly changes Color when the rated temperature is exceeded, providing a temperature history of the monitored surface.
Features
1. Long-term record of reaching the highest temperature
2. Self-adhesive labels
3. Silver to Black Color Variation
4. Immediate Response
5. Resistant to oil, water and steam
6. Accuracy: +/- 1 ° C below 100 ° C; +/- 1.5 ° C from 100 ° C to 154 ° C; +/- 4 ° C above 154 ° C
Principle
Temperature sensitive components utilize the precise melting points of a range of specially purified organic chemicals to produce a unique Color Change effect. Each temperature point uses a different compound, the coating is applied to the absorbent paper substrate, and when the rated temperature is exceeded, the chemical melts and is absorbed by the substrate, resulting in an irreversible Color Change.
Applications
Temperature monitoring, industrial inspections, and equipment maintenance
Steps
1. Paste the self-adhesive label on the monitored surface
2. Observe the Color Change of Temperature Sensitive Components
3. Record the highest temperature reached
4. Remove the label and attach it to the inspection report as a record
Notice
- Products 50 ° C or below: sealed bags stored in the refrigerator
- Products above 50 ° C: Store at room temperature and humidity (i.e. 20 ° C/68 ° F, 50% relative humidity)
- Color change is an irreversible process
- Will not delaminate when removed for reference
