Groen 175101 Large Kettles RTD Probe

A kettle is a metal vessel, with a flat bottom, used to heat or boil water and other liquids using a gas fired or electricity powered heat source. Kettles can be heated on a stove top, or by internal electric elements. There are many types of probes used in restaurant equipment for the measurement of temperature, humidity, liquid level, ice level, product or ingredient levels and other critical operating limits and control points (HACCP). A probe is a small device, especially an electrode, used for measuring, testing, or sensing and obtaining information. Probes are commonly thin and oblong, and may be flexible. They provide data output to other components to control operation of the equipment. Resistance thermometers, also called resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), are sensors used to measure temperature. Many RTD elements consist of a length of fine wire wrapped around a ceramic or glass core but other constructions are also used. The RTD wire is a pure material, typically platinum, nickel, or copper. The material has an accurate resistance/temperature relationship which is used to provide an indication of temperature. As RTD elements are fragile, they are often housed in protective probes. FeaturesLarge Kettles RTD ProbeMade with high quality materialSpecificationsLength: 3.7"Width: 6.1"Height: 0.45"
