School Savers - Vernier STS-BTA Surface Temp Sensor

Vernier STS-BTA Surface Temp Sensor

The Surface Temperature Sensor has an exposed thermistor that results in an extremely rapid response time. This design allows for use in air and water. For temperature measurements in harsher environments that require a more durable probe, we recommend our Stainless Steel Temperature Probe.

Specifications
Temperature range: –25 to 125°C (–13 to 257°F)
Maximum temperature that the sensor can tolerate without damage: 150°C
Resolution (LabQuest 2, LabQuest, LabQuest Mini, Go!Link, LabPro):
0.08°C (–25 to 0°C)
0.03°C (0 to 40°C)
