Testoterm Self-Adhesive Temperature Strips

Testoterm temperature strips are thin, highly sensitive self-adhesive foils designed to monitor and record maximum temperatures. When a specific temperature threshold is exceeded, the corresponding heat-sensitive element on the strip changes color irreversibly within 2 to 3 seconds. Because the color change from light gray to black does not reverse when the object cools, you maintain permanent, visual proof that a critical temperature was reached.

Primary Functions & Applications

These versatile temperature strips are supplied in packs of 10 and are built for situations where standard electronic probes cannot be used. Simply peel off the backing and apply the strip directly to the measurement object. Key applications include:

• Moving Objects: Ideal for monitoring the surface temperature of rotating shafts, motors, or automated conveyor belt components.
• Small Spaces: Perfect for checking circuit boards, electronic components, and confined mechanical assemblies where a thermometer probe won't fit.
• Transit & Storage: Long-term, tamper-evident monitoring of sensitive goods during transport or storage to ensure thermal compliance.
• Aviation & Automotive: Quick thermal diagnostics in highly demanding engineering and manufacturing environments.

General Specifications

Tradie Pro Tip: Before applying a strip, make sure the surface is completely clean and free of oil or heavy dust. A solid bond ensures the heat transfers accurately into the foil, giving you a true temperature reading every time. Also, store your unused booklets in a cool place (under 25°C) so they don't accidentally trigger in a hot toolbox!
