OVERVIEW

Reliable Temperature Indication for Industrial Applications

The Tempilstik 150°F (66°C) is the original temperature-indicating stick, trusted by industrial professionals for over 80 years. Designed to provide an immediate, accurate visual confirmation of surface temperature, this tool is indispensable in environments where precision heat management is critical. Unlike electronic devices that require calibration, batteries, or protection from static and interference, the Tempilstik relies on the immutable laws of physics: the melting point of its formulated compound is fixed and precise.

For facility managers and MRO specialists, the TS150 offers a cost-effective solution for monitoring equipment and processes. Whether used for checking bearing temperatures, monitoring heat exchangers, or ensuring proper annealing temperatures in manufacturing, this stick delivers results with an accuracy of +/- 1% of the rated temperature. The stick is housed in a durable, slip-resistant aluminum holder that protects the indicator and allows for easy handling, even when wearing heavy industrial gloves.

Traceability is a key component of the Tempil brand promise. Each Tempilstik is batch-numbered and traceable to NIST standards, ensuring that your quality control processes remain compliant with rigorous industrial codes. The 150°F rating is particularly common for low-temperature pre-heating requirements and monitoring operating temperatures of sensitive machinery. By utilizing a simple stroke of the stick, operators can instantly verify if a surface has reached the critical 150°F threshold, as the dry mark will melt into a distinct liquid smear.

This product is engineered to be free of lead, sulfur, and chlorides, making it safe for use on a wide variety of metals, including stainless steel and exotic alloys often found in aerospace and power generation sectors. When you need a rugged, reliable, and simple method to verify temperature without the hassle of digital equipment, the Tempilstik 150°F is the industry's go-to choice.

FAQ

Simply stroke the workpiece with the Tempilstik during the heating process. When the surface reaches 150°F (66°C), the dry, chalky mark will instantly melt into a glossy liquid smear.

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

No, the Tempilstik relies on the fixed melting point of its chemical composition. It never requires calibration, batteries, or electronic setup.

Yes, standard Tempilstiks are typically free of lead, sulfur, and chlorides, making them safe for use on stainless steel and other sensitive alloys. Always check the specific batch certificate if nuclear-grade purity is required.

150°F is a common minimum pre-heat temperature for many mild steel applications to ensure surface moisture is evaporated (preventing hydrogen cracking) and to reduce thermal shock.

While IR guns are useful, they can be inaccurate on shiny metal surfaces due to emissivity issues. The Tempilstik uses direct contact, providing a more reliable reading for reflective metals.

If the temperature significantly exceeds 150°F, the melted fluid may char or vaporize, but the initial melt indicates the minimum threshold was reached.

The mark should generally be removed before welding over it to ensure absolute purity, although the low-contaminant formula minimizes risks compared to standard crayons.
