Tip: Digital Pyrometers are
now more popular than analog because they give exact temperature
readings. Analog Pyrometers use a needle gauge, so it is not possible to
determine the exact temperature in the kiln. But it will give you
an approximate temperature, and is sometimes still preferred because of
its lower cost. |

Skutt
Dual Input Digital Handheld
Pyrometer
This pyrometer comes with a Type K thermocouple and thermocouple mounting block, 5 feet of thermocouple wire, and a pyrometer flange for mounting the thermocouple to the kiln.
The pyrometer is protected by a soft plastic shell/case that integrates a flip-out back, so that it can be set on a table or shelf.
Since it is “Dual Input”, you can purchase an additional
thermocouple and monitor two
kilns at once, or the same kiln in two locations simultaneously. It
will even display the difference between the two temperatures, and record
the minimum and maximum temperatures during a firing.
Measures to 2462 F, with a plus or minus 0.4% of reading accuracy.
Display in degrees F or C. 2 year warranty.
Requires 9V battery (included). It has a nice quality feel, great features and robust thermocouple design.
