temperature measurement label

A temperature measurement label is a temperature monitoring tool that integrates a temperature sensor and thermosensitive materials, featuring self-indication and immediate response. It is divided into various types such as reversible, irreversible, and smart temperature measurement labels, catering to the needs of different scenarios. In fields such as cold chain logistics, pharmaceuticals, food safety, and industrial monitoring, temperature measurement labels play a crucial role. They can monitor the temperature of objects in real-time and visually display the temperature status, ensuring that products are stored and transported within a suitable temperature range.

When using temperature measurement labels, it is important to ensure proper attachment, avoid damage, and regularly check their status. For irreversible temperature measurement labels, they should be replaced promptly once they change color; for smart temperature measurement labels, attention should also be paid to data transmission and battery level.

Temperature Indicating Recorder Labels

Temperature Indicating and Recording Labels are commonly referred to as "color-changing temperature measurement patches" in China, while in foreign countries, they are generally known as "Temperature Indicating Recorder Labels", also called temperature indicating strips, temperature wax strips, color-changing temperature indicating strips, temperature labels, surface temperature tags, temperature-sensitive test papers, thermosensitive papers, temperature measurement papers, temperature test strips, temperature indicating bars, temperature bars, temperature measurement strips, temperature measurement stickers, thermal/heat-sensitive/thermo-inductive indicators, temperature indicating papers, temperature sensors, test temperature wax strips, color-changing temperature measurement patches, stickers, overheat monitoring, and temperature recording phase sequence indicating labels. This is a relatively novel temperature measurement technology that employs temperature-sensitive color-changing measurement techniques. It can be attached to the equipment being measured, changing color or displaying temperature digits as the equipment's temperature varies, thereby allowing one to grasp the temperature changes of the equipment.

The mechanisms behind these labels vary and are not all the same, but they all involve a series of chemical and physical changes that occur when an object is heated, leading to changes in the molecular structure and, consequently, changes in the color of reflected light. For example, crystal form transformation, sublimation, dehydration, oxidation, and decomposition can cause shifts in the frequency bands of light scattering.

Advantages of Temperature Indicating and Recording Labels

  1. It is particularly suitable for measuring the temperature of components, outer surfaces, and objects in life-threatening environments where ordinary thermometers cannot or are difficult to use. Examples include temperature measurements of transistors, integrated circuits, chemical reaction tanks, engine bearings, conductor buses, switches, joints, transformers, etc.

  2. It facilitates inspection patrols. When the temperature changes, it triggers a color change, allowing people to take measures promptly to prevent accidents and nip potential hazards in the bud.

  3. The product is lightweight, portable, and easy to install. For example, the temperature-sensitive color-changing patch with adhesive is very convenient to use; simply peel it off and stick it on.

  4. It is more economical. When measuring the same number of temperature measurement points, it saves costs compared to other temperature measurement tools.
