Question 5

How are the TempCHEKs measured?

Accepted Answer

The most important dimension is the diameter of the TempCHEK.  As the TempCHEK is heated within its working range, it will undergo shrinkage. The proper way to measure the shrinkage is to place the TempCHEK into the Orton Desktop gauge, so the product type and batch code are visible. The gauge will measure the diameter of the TempCHEK in the same location every time. You can use a set of calipers to measure the diameter of the part, however,  errors can be introduced with this measurement method.

Question 6

What materials are used to make the TempCHEK?

Accepted Answer

Orton uses materials that are common to the ceramic industry. Depending on the temperature range they are designed to work within, they will consist of some combination of any of the following materials; Kaolin, ball clay, glass frit, alumina, and other inorganic minerals. Also, a small amount of organic binder is added.

Question 7

What is the Shelf life of the TempCHEK?

Accepted Answer

They are made from materials that are shelf stable, and they will not degrade over time. They do not have a shelf life and must be kept in a dry location.

Question 8

How accurate are the TempCHEKs?

Accepted Answer

TempCHEKs measure within +/- 3 degrees °C. This is based on a heating schedule of 1°C/min and held at peak temperature for 60 minutes.
