TEMTS0200 - Tempil 200°F Temperature Indicating Crayon

The Welder's Trusted Tool for Preheat Verification

When you are out in the shop or on the job site, you need tools that work every time, without fuss. The Tempilstik 200°F is the legendary "temp stick" that welders have relied on for decades to ensure their base metal is ready for the arc. Hitting the correct preheat temperature is critical for preventing cracks and ensuring a sound weld, especially when working with thicker sections of steel. With the Tempilstik 200°F, you don't have to guess, and you don't have to worry about dead batteries in your digital thermometer.

Using the Tempilstik is incredibly straightforward. Simply stroke the workpiece during the heating process. As long as the mark looks like a dry, chalky scratch, the metal is below 200°F. The moment the surface reaches the rated temperature, the mark will instantly melt into a glossy liquid smear. This distinct visual change is easy to spot, even through a welding helmet or in low-light conditions. It gives you an immediate "green light" to start welding. This stick is also perfect for checking interpass temperatures—just make a quick mark between passes to ensure the metal hasn't gotten too hot or cooled down too much.

Designed for the harsh reality of welding environments, the Tempilstik is tough. It comes in a metal holder with a pocket clip, so it stays secure in your jacket or apron. It doesn't require calibration, so if you drop it, it still works perfectly. Whether you are preheating a heavy plate, annealing a part, or just double-checking a heat treatment, the Tempilstik 200°F is the cheapest insurance policy you can buy for your weld quality.
