Hit your target temperatures every time with the Tempil Tempilstik® 500°F (260°C). As a welder, you know that temperature control is critical for preventing cracks, ensuring proper penetration, and maintaining the structural integrity of your welds. The Tempilstik takes the guesswork out of pre-heating and interpass monitoring, giving you a quick and undeniable visual confirmation when your metal is hot enough.
Using the Tempilstik is incredibly straightforward. Simply stroke the workpiece during heating. The initial mark will appear dull and chalky. Once the surface reaches 500°F (260°C), the mark will instantly melt into a distinct, glossy liquid smear. This change is easy to see even through a welding helmet lens, allowing you to focus on your arc without constantly stopping to check gauges.
For over 80 years, Tempil has been the go-to brand for temperature indication. This stick is formulated to be dense and long-lasting, so it won't dry out or evaporate like some liquid indicators. It is rugged enough to survive the harsh environment of a welding shop or field site. The included aluminum holder protects the stick from breakage and makes it easy to advance the material as it wears down.
Perfect for checking pre-heat on heavy plate, monitoring interpass temps on multi-pass welds, or verifying heat for annealing, this 500°F indicator helps you meet code requirements (like AWS D1.1) with confidence. Don't risk a failed inspection or a cracked weld—keep a Tempilstik in your pocket.
