Testo 176 T1 – One Channel Temperature Data Logger (Part Number 0572 1761)

Testo 176 T1 – One Channel Temperature Data Logger (Part Number 0572 1761)

• Ideal for continuous monitoring of temperatures
• Internal RTD sensor for high accuracy data logging
• Rugged and waterproof according to IP68
• Data transfer possible using the USB port, or SD card (optional)

The Testo 176T1 temperature data logger features a rugged metal housing that makes it ideal for the documentation of temperature measurements in extremely cold and dusty environments. The temperature measurement logger is ideal for high accuracy temperature measurements under extreme conditions because of the RTD sensor. Creation of Excel Spreadsheets, PDFs, and data analysis are all easily achieved with the free, downloadable ComSoft software.

Monitoring and documentation of the temperature in cold rooms

Many foods and drugs have to be stored within a specific cold temperature range. This can be done in inpidual cooled store rooms, but also in specialized cold stores or cold warehouses with high-rack facilities. The temperature must be continuously documented in all these cold storage facilities, because strict rules apply to quality management in both the food and drugs industries.

Data loggers are usually installed at the so-called critical control points (CCPs) of the cold room, in order to identify any possible temperature deviations and to introduce appropriate countermeasures. Critical points are for instance doors or passages through to other temperature areas within a warehouse.

Monitoring and documentation of transport temperature

For all goods which react sensitively to temperature fluctuations or have to be stored within a predefined temperature range, uninterrupted measurement data recording and documentation play a major role.

Incorrect temperature conditions during transport can lead to major losses of quality, including the total loss of value of the products that require monitoring. Using a data logger, shipments can be checked for compliance with the specified temperature ranges and the data can then be read, analysed and archived by means of special software.
