Cole-Parmer Soil Thermometer, 12" L x 0.25" Diameter, 0-200°F (-15-90°C)

Description

This instrument is a soil thermometer for measuring temperature in granular materials like soil or compost. It has a stem length of 12 inches and a diameter of 0.25 inches, which facilitates insertion with minimal disturbance. The device displays temperature on a dual scale, covering 0 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit and -15 to 90 degrees Celsius. Its design is suited for field applications in agriculture, horticulture, and environmental monitoring where obtaining temperature data from shallow depths is required. The relatively short probe is appropriate for surface-level or near-surface profile assessments.
