Setting the Standard When it comes to temperature measurement in an important application process – like yours – precision is paramount. So much relies on the accuracy of these measurements, and the quality of the instrumentation and devices that are used can make all the difference. We put our Super OmegaClad XL and our standard Inconel probes up against some of our competitors’ similarly spec’d probes in a battery of long-term product testing – and the results speak for themselves.
