Discover some of the pros and cons and determine for yourself whether thermo crayons are outdated or still
useful for modern welding.
Advantages of Thermo Crayons
There are a number of positive benefits to using thermo crayons instead of other temperature reading alternatives.
Some of the advantages of using a thermo crayon include:
Affordable: Premium digital thermometers can easily cost up to ten times the amount of a thermo crayon. If you
are looking for a cost-effective way to reach a set temperature point, thermo crayons are the most affordable
option.
Hands-Free: Simply make a mark and begin heating the material. Because you don’t have to constantly hold a
thermometer to the material, you’ll be able to work on another project or use both hands to operate a heating torch
while you heat the project.
Accurate: Thermo crayons are typically rated to be accurate within 3 degrees Celsius.
