When do you need a high temperature data logger?
In most cases when we think about temperature monitoring, we
tend to focus on freezers and fridges, forgetting all about high
temperature. For many people a data logger is no more than a
device that lets people know how cold it is.
Of course that's true, but temperature monitoring is important
not only in low temperatures. A high temperature data logger can
be extremely useful for almost every kind of business that deals
with high temperature - possibly even for yours.
This article discusses only two possibilities of using high
temperature monitoring systems, but there are much more of them.
Cooking
Many restaurant and hotel kitchens could benefit by using high
temperature data loggers. For example, baking depends on
frequent temperature monitoring to produce a quality product.
The standard, old-fashioned thermometers are not very precise
and and don't keep a temperature history during the baking
process.
Laboratories
The other possibility of using a high temperature data logger is
a laboratory. Standard thermometers are certainly less precise
than a digital temperature monitoring system. A high temperature
data logger or temperature chart recorder, whether digital or
simple pen-and-paper can be used to monitor and document
temperature profiles. Additionally they can produce a written
record of a process which can be used to measure future batches
against.
Other perspectives
Any kind of business that employs high temperature processed can
benefit from using a high temperature data logger. If you don't
currently use temperature monitoring or a temperature chart
recorder you should consider how the use of one can standardize
your processes. This improves consistency and accountability,
which are only as good as your standards, which are, in turn
dependent on the accuracy of your data gathering processes.
