TEMTS0600 - Tempilstik 600°F Temperature Indicating Crayon

Essential Temperature Control for Quality Welds

Achieving the perfect weld often depends on strict temperature management, and the Tempilstik 600°F (316°C) is the welder's go-to tool for ensuring compliance. Whether you are dealing with critical pre-heating requirements or monitoring interpass temperatures to prevent cracking and distortion, this temperature-indicating crayon provides an instant, unmistakable visual cue. When the workpiece reaches 600°F, the mark made by the Tempilstik melts into a liquid smear, letting you know exactly when to start welding or when to pause. It eliminates the guesswork, allowing you to focus on laying a sound bead.

Rugged Design for the Workshop

Welding environments are tough, and your tools need to be tougher. The Tempilstik TS0600 is built to withstand the heat and grime of the job site. It features a durable, slip-resistant aluminum holder that protects the stick from breakage and provides a secure grip, even when wearing heavy welding gloves. The pocket clip ensures it stays within reach, ready for quick checks between passes. Because it requires no batteries, cables, or calibration, it is always ready to work when you are, making it a reliable companion for field work where electronic devices might fail or be cumbersome to use.

Code-Compliant Accuracy

Professional welders know that adhering to WPS (Welding Procedure Specifications) is non-negotiable. The Tempilstik 600°F is engineered to meet the stringent requirements of AWS D1.1 and various ASME codes. With an accuracy rating of +/- 1%, you can trust that your temperature readings are precise. This level of accuracy is critical for high-strength steels and alloys where thermal history affects the mechanical properties of the joint. By using the Tempilstik, you provide verifiable proof that your pre-heat and interpass temperatures were maintained correctly, ensuring the structural integrity of your work.

Simple and Effective Application

Using the Tempilstik is straightforward. Simply stroke the workpiece during the heating process. As the surface temperature rises, the dry, chalky mark will suddenly turn into a liquid gloss at exactly 600°F. This phase change is distinct and easy to see, even under the hood or in varying lighting conditions. It is particularly useful for checking pre-heat on thick plates or monitoring heat input on multi-pass welds. Don't risk weld failure due to improper thermal control; keep a Tempilstik 600°F in your pocket to guarantee your welds meet the highest standards of quality.
