Testo 831 Infrared Catering Thermometer

The Testo 831 Infrared Catering Thermometer is a non-contact surface temperature thermometer designed specifically for the catering and food industries. It can measure surface temperature from -30˚C to 210˚C, thus making it suitable for both storage and production checks, and has an accuracy of ±1.5˚C/1.5% and a resolution of 0.1˚C. A measurement is taken twice a second for increased speed and efficiency and emissivity is adjustable between 0.1 and 1 in order to measure different types of surface.

With a distance-to-spot ratio of 30:1, the thermometer is effective from a distance and two integrated laser pointers allow the user to pinpoint the exact location of a measurement. This enables speedy checking of entire panels and refrigeration units and the non-contact measurement technique is also more hygienic and efficient as it means there is no need to clean the thermometer after every measurement.

The comfortable pistol design of the Testo 831 makes it very easy to use and readings are shown on the clear digital display. The user can view min/max readings and freeze readings on screen using the data hold function. Adjustable alarm limits allow the thermometer to instantly warn the user when temperature falls above or below acceptable levels.

The Testo 831 has a handy 15-hour battery life and an ingress protection rating of IP30. It comes supplied as standard with a leather case, belt holder, 9V battery and manufacturer’s calibration certificate.

In order to measure core temperature, it is possible to add a Testo 106 Penetration Thermometer to the purchase by clicking the checkbox above. This thermometer uses a narrow probe to measure core temperature from -50˚C to 275˚C and comes supplied with a dishwasher-safe TopSafe protective cap.
