The 12 point Chino temperature recorder is a popular, basic, analogue alternative to digital recorders. The Chino temperature chart recorder is designed for pre and post weld heat treatment processes utilising type K thermocouples. Contained within a rugged, cost effective, painted blue, mild steel case, the recorder is designed and built to with stand normal site conditions. Each input is individually recorded on the chart paper using a multi coloured printing system for clear identification of each thermocouple input trace. For process monitoring by the operator in any site light conditions, the level of illumination of the chart and the scale plate can be adjusted by the operator.
