OVERVIEW

Don't Guess the Heat—Know It with Tempilstik

When you are on the fabrication floor, you need tools that work as hard as you do and don't require a manual to operate. The Tempilstik 932°F (500°C) is the welder's best friend for hitting those high-temperature targets accurately. Forget about fiddling with infrared guns that give weird readings on shiny metal or worrying if your digital pyrometer has dead batteries. The Tempilstik is simple, rugged, and reliable.

Using it is straightforward: just stroke the workpiece during heating. The moment the surface reaches 932°F, the dry, chalk-like mark will instantly melt into a glossy liquid. That is your signal—no guessing, no estimating. This instant visual cue allows you to focus on your torch and your puddle, ensuring you are welding at the right temperature to prevent cracking or warping. It is perfect for checking preheat on heavy plate, monitoring interpass temperatures, or ensuring your heat treatment has reached the soak temperature.

The T932 comes in a sturdy aluminum holder that feels like a heavy-duty pen in your glove. It protects the stick from breaking in your pocket and lets you slide more stick out as you use it up. Plus, it is formulated to be safe on the metal, so you don't have to worry about it contaminating your weld zone. Whether you are working in a shop or out in the field, the Tempilstik 932°F gives you the confidence that your heat is right on the money, every single time.

Common Applications:

  • Checking preheat temperatures on high-strength alloys.
  • Monitoring interpass temperature to prevent overheating.
  • Verifying post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) temperatures.
  • Annealing and stress relieving operations.

FAQ

Simply stroke the workpiece with the Tempilstik during the heating process. The mark will appear dull and chalky until the surface reaches 932°F (500°C), at which point it will instantly melt into a glossy liquid.

The Tempilstik is accurate to within +/- 1% of its rated temperature (932°F), making it highly reliable for code-compliant work.

Yes, Tempilstiks are typically free of lead, sulfur, and zinc, making them safe for use on stainless steel and other sensitive alloys without causing contamination.

No, the Tempilstik relies on the physical phase-change properties of the material, which do not drift over time. It does not require calibration like electronic devices.

Once the mark melts at 932°F, it stays liquid if the temperature rises further. It indicates the minimum temperature has been reached but does not indicate how much higher the temperature has gone.

Yes, the Tempilstik meets the requirements of AWS D1.1, ASME Code Sec. I, III, and VIII, and ANSI/ASME Code B31.1 and B31.3.

Tempilstiks are primarily designed to indicate when a temperature is reached during heating. However, the melted mark will resolidify upon cooling, but the phase change for measurement is calibrated for the melting point.

When stored in a cool, dry place away from direct heat, Tempilstiks have an indefinite shelf life.
