LogTag temperature data loggers for temperature monitoring

Temperature control is one of the most important parts of food safety. Our LogTag loggers help you measure temperature, record it and prove it to an auditor.

  • LogTag UTRIX-16: a cost-effective, reliable multi-use temperature logger. It needs no special hardware to start and records temperature data at set intervals, ready to download to a PC.
  • LogTag UTRID-16: adds a display so you can view current and past temperature and alarm statistics on the spot, without downloading.

Data loggers are used in cool rooms, freezers, delivery vehicles and display cabinets. They capture temperature changes around the clock, so you can see if product left the safe zone overnight or during transport.

Tips for the right temperature measurement: K probe, air probe, folding pocket thermometer and smart probes

For everyday use, a simple probe is enough. Smart probes that connect to a smartphone app are also popular in HVAC and industrial settings, where data needs to be shared quickly.

01

Check calibration in iced water (0°C) and boiling water.

02

Insert a probe into the thickest part of the food.

03

Wait for the reading to settle before recording it.

04

Use an air probe or logger for fridges, not a surface reading.

05

Store your folding pocket thermometer or probe clean and dry.

Thermometers and temperature measuring for food safety: non-contact vs probe

Accurate temperature measurement is a legal requirement, not just good practice. Food Standards Code rules require potentially hazardous food to be kept at 5°C or below, or 60°C or above.

Accurate readings help you stay out of the danger zone and show your controls are working. Calibrate thermometers regularly, clean probes between uses and keep records of every check. A precise reading you can trust beats a long list of extras.

Choosing the right temperature meter and temperature range for industrial applications

  • Do you need a spot reading or continuous monitoring?
  • Are you checking surface temperature or core temperature?
  • What temperature range do you need?
  • How fast does the reading need to be?
  • Do you need records for HACCP, or alarms when temperature goes out of range?

Most food businesses use a mix: a digital thermometer for daily checks, plus data loggers for fridges, freezers and transport.

Temperature measuring instruments: FAQs

Device types, how sensors work and which tools are most accurate.

Types of temperature measuring device: digital thermometer, infrared thermometer, thermal imaging and more
  • Digital probe thermometer: the go-to for core temperature checks on cooked, cooling and reheated food
  • Infrared thermometer: non-contact surface temperature, great for quick checks on deliveries
  • Thermocouple thermometers: a K probe gives fast response and a wide temperature range
  • Resistance temperature detectors (RTDs): high precision and stability
  • Temperature data loggers: record temperature over time for cold chain and storage
  • Thermal imaging cameras: show heat patterns across equipment, useful for HVAC and maintenance
  • Liquid-in-glass and bimetallic devices: traditional options, usually avoided near food
How infrared sensors, probe and thermocouple temperature sensors measure temperature

An infrared thermometer detects infrared radiation from a surface and converts it to a reading. It's fast and hygienic, but it only reads the surface, not the core. A probe thermometer pushes a sensor into the product to read the temperature inside. Thermocouples join two metals that create a small voltage as temperature rises. RTDs measure the change in electrical resistance, giving excellent accuracy and stability.

What equipment is used to measure temperature?

Common instruments include probe thermometers, infrared thermometers, thermocouples, RTDs and data loggers. In food businesses, a probe thermometer and a logger cover most needs.

Which devices for temperature measurement are the most accurate?

RTDs and well-calibrated thermocouple probes are among the most accurate. For food checks, a calibrated digital probe is accurate enough when used correctly.

Are liquid-in-glass thermometers and bimetallic devices still used?

Yes, in some labs and ovens. In food areas, digital tools are safer because there's no glass to break.

Can I check temperature and humidity for HVAC with one device, or on a smartphone?

Yes. Some data loggers record both temperature and humidity, and some smart probes send readings to a smartphone. These are handy for HVAC, storage rooms and warehouses.

What about thermometers from Testo or the Fluke 62 MAX?

Testo offers a wide range of instruments, including smart probes that pair with a smartphone app. The Fluke 62 MAX is a popular infrared thermometer for HVAC work. The brand matters less than choosing the right type of device and keeping it calibrated.
