Temperature Measurement Range | Industrial furnaces, metal processing | - Industry Standard: -20°C to 500°C (basic thermometers) - Our Base: -50°C to 1000°C (ASTM E1256) ▲ - Our Advanced: -50°C to 1800°C (ISO 13790) ▲▲ (ideal for molten metal) | Wider range accommodates extreme temperatures (e.g., smelting, cryogenics) | Higher cost for extreme ranges; requires calibration for accuracy at limits |
Communication Interface | Industrial automation, data logging | - Industry Standard: RS232 (limited range) - Our Base: RS485 (up to 1200m, IEC 61158) ▲ - Our Advanced: RS485 + Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) ▲▲ (network integration) | Longer transmission distances (1200m) and seamless network connectivity | Ethernet requires infrastructure setup; RS232 may lack scalability |
Housing Material | Harsh chemical/moisture environments | - Industry Standard: Aluminum (ASTM B209) - Our Base: Stainless Steel 304 (ASTM A276) ▲ - Our Advanced: Stainless Steel 316 (ASTM A276) ▲▲ (corrosion-resistant) | Enhanced durability in corrosive settings (e.g., chemical plants) | Heavier than aluminum; higher material costs for advanced grades |
Measurement Accuracy | Quality control, lab testing | - Industry Standard: ±1.5°C - Our Base: ±0.5°C (IEC 60529) ▲ - Our Advanced: ±0.2°C (NIST traceable) ▲▲ (precision critical) | High precision for regulated industries (e.g., pharmaceuticals) | More expensive sensors; requires frequent calibration for top-tier accuracy |
Environmental Resistance | Outdoor/wet environments | - Industry Standard: IP54 (dust/water resistant) - Our Base: IP65 (IP65 rated) ▲ - Our Advanced: IP67 (submersible up to 1m) ▲▲ (harsh conditions) | Protected against water jets and dust ingress (e.g., construction sites) | IP67 adds bulk; may compromise portability in compact setups |
Probe Flexibility | Tight spaces, confined areas | - Industry Standard: Rigid probe (fixed position) - Our Base: Flexible probe, 1m (ISO 529) ▲ - Our Advanced: Flexible probe, 2m (customizable bend) ▲▲ (access hard-to-reach areas) | Reaches narrow or hazardous areas (e.g., engine compartments) | Longer probes may reduce stiffness; requires careful handling to avoid damage |
