THERMCO
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about THERMCO from 3G Electric.
What is the temperature range and accuracy of the THERMCO analog bottle thermometer?
The THERMCO analog bottle thermometer, MPN ACCR0201BLST, has a measurement range of -5°C to 15°C with an accuracy of +/-1.5°C. It uses a 30 mL bottle filled with blue glycol to simulate product temperature in blood bank, vaccine, and critical refrigeration environments. The bottle volume and fluid are designed to mimic the thermal behavior of stored products, providing a direct reading of conditions inside refrigerators and freezers. This model is typically used where continuous monitoring of storage temperature is required without relying on electronic sensors.
What are the specifications of the THERMCO full-immersion liquid-in-glass lab thermometer?
The THERMCO full-immersion lab thermometer, MPN ACC7200S, is calibrated in Celsius with a range of 35°C to 180°C and an immersion depth of 180 mm. Accuracy is +/-2°C below 100°C and +/-3°C above 100°C. It uses a red fluid for readability. This thermometer is suitable for laboratory temperature measurement in chemical analysis, quality control, and general lab work where full immersion of the stem is required. The 180 mm immersion depth ensures the sensing portion is fully exposed to the medium being measured.
Which THERMCO hydrometers are available for salt brine concentration measurement?
THERMCO offers several hydrometers for salt brine. The ACC8511PC measures sodium chloride by saturation from 0 to 100% with 1.0 scale divisions and is made of plastic. The GW2511X measures sodium chloride by weight from 0 to 26.4% with 0.5 scale divisions and an overall height of 11 3/4 inches. The GW2590 measures calcium chloride saturation from 0 to 120% with 1.0 scale divisions. The GW2511 measures sodium chloride saturation from 0 to 100% with 1.0 scale divisions. The ACC85112PC measures sodium chloride by weight from 0 to 26.4% with 0.2 scale divisions. These models provide direct reading without conversion tables.
How does the THERMCO wireless temperature transmitter work with desk and wall mount meters?
The THERMCO wireless temperature transmitter, MPN ACCDTA141, measures from -40°C to 60°C (140°F to -40°F) and connects via USB to compatible desk or wall mount meters. It is designed for remote temperature monitoring in cold storage, HVAC, and other applications where wired sensors are not practical. The transmitter sends readings to the meter, which displays the temperature. This setup allows monitoring of multiple locations without running cables. The USB connection provides a simple interface for pairing the transmitter with the meter.
What is the difference between THERMCO hydrometers that measure by weight and by saturation?
THERMCO hydrometers measure salt brine concentration either by weight or by saturation. Weight-based models, such as the GW2511X and ACC85112PC, display the percentage of sodium chloride by weight in the solution, with ranges like 0 to 26.4%. Saturation-based models, such as the GW2511 and ACC8511PC, display the percentage of saturation, with ranges like 0 to 100%. The choice depends on the user's preferred unit of measurement. Both types provide direct readings and are available with different scale divisions for varying precision requirements.
Are THERMCO hydrometers suitable for food processing and refrigeration applications?
Yes, THERMCO hydrometers are used in food processing, refrigeration, water treatment, and other industrial applications where brine concentration must be monitored. For example, the GW2590 measures calcium chloride saturation from 0 to 120% and is designed for industrial refrigeration and food processing. The GW2511 measures sodium chloride saturation from 0 to 100% and is used to monitor brine concentration in food processing and water treatment. These instruments provide a direct reading of concentration, allowing operators to maintain proper brine strength for effective cooling or processing.
