OVERVIEW

Precision Temperature Monitoring for Industrial Applications

The Tempilstik 600°F (316°C) is the original temperature-indicating stick, designed to provide a simple, reliable, and accurate method for measuring surface temperatures in industrial environments. For decades, Tempil has been the trusted name in thermal monitoring, offering a low-cost alternative to expensive electronic measurement tools without sacrificing precision. This specific indicator is formulated to melt instantly once the surface reaches 600°F, providing a clear visual signal that the target temperature has been achieved. It is an essential tool for quality control managers and industrial technicians who require immediate verification of process temperatures.

Unmatched Accuracy and Reliability

One of the standout features of the Tempilstik is its impressive accuracy. Calibrated to be accurate within +/- 1% of its rated temperature, the TS0600 ensures that your operations remain within strict thermal parameters. Unlike electronic sensors that can drift over time or require frequent recalibration, the chemical composition of the Tempilstik remains stable, offering consistent performance every time. The stick is housed in a slip-resistant metal holder, designed for durability and ease of handling in rough industrial settings. The high-density crayon material ensures a long service life, providing hundreds of readings from a single stick.

Compliance and Traceability

In industries where safety and code compliance are paramount, the Tempilstik 600°F delivers peace of mind. It meets the requirements of major welding and industrial codes, including AWS D1.1, ASME Code Sec. I, III, and VIII, and ANSI/ASME Code B31.1 and B31.3. Each stick is marked with a traceable lot number, allowing for full quality assurance tracking. This makes it an ideal choice for critical applications in petrochemical, nuclear, and structural engineering sectors where documentation and adherence to standards are mandatory.

Versatile Industrial Utility

While widely recognized in the welding industry, the utility of the Tempilstik extends to various other sectors. It is effectively used for monitoring temperatures during annealing, stress relieving, and post-weld heat treatment (PWHT). Its simplicity allows operators of all skill levels to verify temperatures quickly, reducing downtime and preventing costly errors associated with overheating or underheating materials. Whether used in a fabrication shop or on a remote field site, the Tempilstik 600°F remains a staple for accurate thermal management.

FAQ

Simply stroke the workpiece with the Tempilstik during heating. The mark will appear dull and chalky until the surface reaches 600°F (316°C), at which point it will instantly melt into a glossy liquid.

The Tempilstik is accurate to within +/- 1% of its rated temperature, making it a highly reliable tool for critical industrial applications.

No, the Tempilstik relies on the fixed melting point of its chemical composition, so it never requires calibration or batteries.

Yes, it is excellent for interpass monitoring. You can periodically check the weld zone to ensure it hasn't exceeded or dropped below the required temperature.

The mark is not permanent and can typically be removed with a wire brush or abrasive if necessary before welding, although it is generally formulated to be compatible with welding processes.

It meets AWS D1.1, ASME Code Sec. I, III, and VIII, and ANSI/ASME Code B31.1 and B31.3.

When stored in a cool, dry place away from direct heat, the Tempilstik has an indefinite shelf life.

No, the Tempilstik is a fusible indicator that shows when a specific temperature is reached (melting). It does not reverse or indicate cooling.
