TEMTS0450 - Tempilstik 450F Temperature Crayon

Precision Temperature Monitoring for Industrial Applications

In the demanding fields of metallurgy, fabrication, and industrial maintenance, temperature control is not merely a suggestion—it is a critical parameter that dictates the structural integrity and quality of the final product. The Tempil Tempilstik 450°F (232°C) stands as the industry standard for surface temperature indication, offering a simple yet scientifically advanced solution for thermal monitoring. Designed to melt at a precise temperature of 450°F, this indicating stick provides an immediate, visual confirmation that the workpiece has reached the required thermal state, ensuring processes such as annealing, stress relieving, and preheating are conducted within strict specifications.

The Tempilstik is engineered for accuracy and reliability. Unlike electronic sensors that can drift, require calibration, or fail due to battery issues, the Tempilstik relies on the immutable laws of physics. The chemical composition of the stick is formulated to undergo a phase change from solid to liquid at exactly 450°F (232°C) with an impressive accuracy of +/- 1%. This level of precision makes it an indispensable tool for quality assurance managers and technicians who require NIST-traceable validation for their operations. Whether used in the aerospace, automotive, or petrochemical sectors, the Tempilstik ensures that critical components are not compromised by under-heating or over-heating.

Ease of use is a hallmark of the Tempil brand. The stick is housed in a durable, slip-resistant aluminum holder that protects the marker and allows for easy handling, even when wearing heavy industrial gloves. The mark applied to the surface is distinct and easily observable; once the surface reaches the rated temperature, the mark melts into a liquid smear, providing a clear 'go/no-go' signal. This simplicity reduces training time and minimizes the risk of human error in fast-paced production environments.

Compliance is key in modern manufacturing, and the Tempilstik 450°F meets the rigorous requirements of major codes, including AWS D1.1, ASME Code Sec. I, III, and VIII, and ANSI/ASME Code B31.1 and B31.3. By integrating this tool into your workflow, you are not only ensuring the quality of your work but also adhering to the highest standards of safety and engineering excellence.
