SOUTH PLAINFIELD, NJ;   In field tests and application studies, Tempilstik® temperature indicators are rated over high-tech electronic IR (infrared) devices for measuring actual preheat and interpass temperatures in welding procedures.  In these tests with electronic IR guns and hand-held temperature indicator sticks, preset guns and adjustable guns were inaccurate.  The Tempilstik® hands-on indicators came out best.  The tests determined which commonly used method of temperature testing achieves the most accurate results in a range of welding preheat temperatures.

Tempilstik® direct-contact temperature indicators have been the metal-fabrication industry standard for monitoring welding temperatures for more than fifty years.
