Thomas 1071 Traceable Clock with Thermometer and Humidity, 12-1/2″ Diameter, 10 to 130 degree F, -20 to 55 degree C Review

The Thomas 1071 Traceable Clock with Thermometer and Humidity measures air temperature and humidity and keeps precise time. The thermometer measures temperature from -20 to 55 degrees C (10 to 130 degrees F), with an accuracy of + or – 1.5 degree C. The humidity gauge measures humidity from 0 to 100 percent relative humidity (RH), with an accuracy of + or – 5 percent. The clock’s timing accuracy is + or – 0.01 percent. The thermometer is traceable to National Institute of Standards and Technology standards, indicating that it is calibrated to International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 17025 levels. The Thomas 1071 is used to measure air temperature and humidity in storage rooms, laboratories, and offices.

Specifications

Digital thermometers are instruments used to measure the temperature of air, liquids, or surfaces electronically. They may measure temperature in Celsius, Fahrenheit, or both. Most digital thermometers use thermistors, which are small electronic resistors. Thermistors are made out of metals that conduct electricity within a certain range and become more conductive the warmer they get. A microcontroller inside the thermometer measures this electrical conductivity and converts it to a temperature, which is displayed on an LCD. Digital thermometers are used in a wide range of applications, including in laboratory settings, food service and storage, and in doctors’ offices and hospitals.
