The RET-2 for rats, For fast intermittent measurements.
• Smooth ball tip. Stainless steel shaft - 1'' long, .059'' diameter. Tip diameter .125'', 5 foot lead length. Time constant 0.8 seconds. Not Isolated
Time Constant is defined as the time required to reach 63% of final temperature in liquid. An accurate reading is obtained when the reading stops changing, typically 5-10 time constants.
Maximum Temperature refers to intermittent use of probe. When probe is used for continuous measurements, maximum temperature should be reduced by 25% unless specified.
