The standard method for measuring temperature is with a USB-connected stainless steel thermistor probe. The specifications for this probe are below:
- Communication: USB controlled by MANTECH Pro Software
- Sheath Material: Super OMEGACLAD XL/ Stainless Steel/Inconel
- Temp Range: 0 to 1038 Degree C.
- Diameter: 0.062in
- Length: 6 inch
- Measurement to 3 decimal places
- Autocalibration feature in MANTECH Pro software
Alternatively, when measuring conductivity, one can measure the temperature directly from the conductivity probe. This temperature is also displayed directly on the conductivity meter screen.
MANTECH has the ability to use either of these measurement methods for pH temperature compensation, depending on customer preference and system configuration.
MANTECH temperature sensors are available in both PT1000 and 10kNTC styles. PT1000 sensors have a linear positive-slope relationship between resistance and temperature with a resistance of 1000 ohms at 0°C, and 10kNTC sensors have a curved negative-slope relationship between resistance and temperature with a resistance of 10,000 ohms at 25°C. Both these models of temperature sensor perform well and comparably within the 0-100°C temperature range that liquid samples exist in. If you require a specific type of temperature sensor, please feel free to let MANTECH know and we will accommodate.
