Why Piercing Probes?

Traditional temperature probes require direct contact with the surface being measured, which can be problematic when:

• Pipes or ducts are insulated
• Systems are sealed without access ports
• Surface temperature differs from internal temperature
• Measuring through packaging or materials

The piercing probe solves these problems by penetrating the surface to measure actual internal temperature, providing more accurate readings for diagnostic and verification work.

Benefits

• Accurate Internal Temperatures: Measures actual temperature inside materials
• No Access Ports Required: Pierces through insulation and surfaces
• Fast Diagnostics: Quick temperature verification
• Universal Compatibility: Works with all K-type thermometers
• Durable Design: Built for repeated piercing operations
• Professional Quality: Precision measurements for reliable diagnostics
• Versatile: Multiple applications across HVAC/R and food service

Perfect For

• HVAC/R service technicians
• Refrigeration technicians
• Food service professionals
• Quality control inspectors
• Insulation contractors
• Diagnostic and testing operations
• Temperature verification work

How to Use

1. Connect probe to K-type thermocouple thermometer
2. Position piercing tip at measurement location
3. Push probe through insulation or surface material
4. Ensure tip reaches internal area to be measured
5. Allow temperature to stabilise (typically 10-30 seconds)
6. Read temperature from thermometer
7. Remove probe and seal puncture if necessary

Common Applications

HVAC/R Diagnostics:

• Refrigerant line temperature through insulation
• Evaporator coil temperature verification
• Suction line temperature measurement
• Liquid line temperature checking

Food Service:

• Internal food temperature measurement
• Frozen product temperature verification
• Refrigerator/freezer product temperature
• Food safety compliance testing

Piercing vs Surface Probes

Piercing Probe (52333 - This Probe):

• Measures internal temperature
• Penetrates insulation and surfaces
• More accurate for insulated systems
• Ideal for sealed systems
• Leaves small puncture hole

Surface Probe:

• Measures surface temperature only
• No penetration required
• Less accurate for insulated systems
• Non-invasive measurement
• No damage to surfaces

Maintenance

• Tip Care: Keep piercing tip sharp and clean
• Cleaning: Wipe probe with clean cloth after each use
• Storage: Store in protective case to prevent tip damage
• Inspection: Check tip for damage or dulling regularly
• Replacement: Replace probe if tip becomes damaged or bent

Safety Guidelines

• Wear safety glasses when piercing materials
• Ensure system is depressurised before piercing refrigerant lines
• Avoid piercing electrical wiring or components
• Seal puncture holes in insulation after measurement
• Clean probe between food temperature measurements
• Follow food safety guidelines for food temperature testing

Professional Quality: Mastercool temperature probes are built to professional standards for accurate, reliable temperature measurement in demanding HVAC/R and food service environments. The 52333 K-type piercing probe provides accurate internal temperature measurement through insulation and sealed surfaces for professional diagnostic and verification work.
