Testo 174T Mini temperature data logger

The Mini temperature data logger Testo 174T is an ideal data logger for the continuous monitoring of temperatures.

As storage temperatures must not surpass defined limit values, the 174T logs the temperature readings and provides alerts when thresholds are crossed.

The Testo 174T has been referenced in industry studies on cold chain management for pharmaceuticals and food products, demonstrating reliable performance in continuous temperature tracking. Customer reviews consistently highlight its precision, ease of use, and durability, especially in demanding environments. Common applications include monitoring cold storage rooms, transport of temperature-sensitive goods, and quality assurance in laboratories, where accurate documentation of temperature is essential to maintain product integrity.

• High accuracy NTC thermistor sensor for reliable data
• Easy to read large display that shows current reading and exceeded measurement limits
• IP65 protection class
• HACCP compliant

Applications

Monitoring and documentation of the temperature in cold rooms

Many foods and drugs have to be stored within a specific cold temperature range. This can be done in individual cooled store rooms, but also in specialised cold stores or cold warehouses with high-rack facilities. The temperature must be continuously documented in all these cold storage facilities, because strict rules apply to quality management in both the food and drugs industries.

Critical control points (CCPs)

Data loggers are usually installed at the so-called critical control points (CCPs) of the cold room, in order to identify any possible temperature deviations and to introduce appropriate countermeasures. Critical points are, for instance, doors or passages through to other temperature areas within a warehouse.

Monitoring and documentation of transport temperature

For all goods which react sensitively to temperature fluctuations or have to be stored within a predefined temperature range, uninterrupted measurement data recording and documentation play a major role. Incorrect temperature conditions during transport can lead to major losses of quality, including the total loss of value of the products that require monitoring. Using a data logger, shipments can be checked for compliance with the specified temperature ranges and the data can then be read, analysed, and archived by means of special software.

Q&A

How accurate is the Testo 174T data logger?

The Testo 174T uses a high-precision NTC thermistor sensor, providing reliable and consistent temperature measurements suitable for HACCP compliance and cold chain management.

Can the Testo 174T be used in harsh environments?

Yes, it has an IP65 protection class, making it resistant to dust and water splashes, ideal for both cold rooms and transport environments.

How is the data retrieved from the Testo 174T?

Temperature data can be read, analysed, and archived using the Testo software, ensuring complete documentation for quality control and regulatory compliance.

Where should the data logger be placed in a cold room?

It should be installed at critical control points (CCPs), such as near doors or passages to other temperature zones, to detect deviations promptly.

Is the Testo 174T suitable for monitoring transport conditions?

Absolutely. It continuously records temperatures during transport, helping prevent product spoilage and ensuring compliance with specified storage conditions.
