The 550B digital pocket thermometer has a new water resistant ergonomic head for easy display readings. It offers all the required features needed for today’s HVAC applications. The 550B is housed in a protective sleeve that serves as a pocket clip and thermometer stand. Remove the stem from the sleeve to use. The stem can be slipped into the loop (built into the metal clip) to offer additional support or to insulate the operator from the measured substance. For best results when measuring liquids or permeable solids, insert at least half of the probe stem into the measured substance.
