Description
Soil and compost thermometer, probe length 500 mm is a robust insertion thermometer for temperature checks in soils, composting processes, straw, and bulk materials. The waterproof insertion probe features a stable handle with a non-slip rubber grip, enabling firm penetration into dense substrates. Probe diameter is 8 mm with a 500 mm sensor length for deeper profile measurements. The unit is supplied complete with a display instrument for type K (NiCr-Ni) thermocouples. Depending on application the measuring range extends from −100 to 800 °C; for soil and compost work the practical range is 0 to 120 °C. Accuracy is ±1 °C between −20 and +180 °C. This practical design from manufacturer Windaus supports field, greenhouse, agricultural, and environmental monitoring tasks where durable, user-friendly probe thermometry is needed. The combination of long probe, sturdy grip, and type K readout makes routine compost-pile and soil-temperature logging straightforward. Ideal when a dedicated soil and compost insertion thermometer with 500 mm probe length is required.
This article is part of Temperature probes & sensors, in Temperature measurement.

Questions about Soil and compost thermometer, probe length 500 mm
What is this article?
Soil and compost thermometer, probe length 500 mm is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Windaus for laboratory use. It sits in Temperature probes & sensors, inside Temperature measurement, in Lab instruments.
A temperature probe is the sensor, Pt100, thermocouple or thermistor, that a meter or a logger reads. The probe, not the display, is what is calibrated. The sheath material and the response time matter in a liquid versus a block.
A thermometer reports a temperature. A liquid-in-glass thermometer is a calibrated column. A digital thermometer is a sensor and a display, and the sensor, not the display, is what is calibrated. An infrared thermometer reads a surface and depends on emissivity. A data logger stores the reading over time. Without a stated uncertainty and a calibration point, the number is only an indication. The scale is maintained by the BIPM and compared by EURAMET. Accreditation is BELAC.
