The WIKA TI.1005 uses a bimetal measuring element to convert temperature changes into mechanical pointer movement. It provides a direct reading on its dial without batteries or external electrical connections.
Its pointed 5-inch stem is designed for insertion into suitable materials or measurement points, while the included pocket case protects the stem during storage and transport. The external hex-hub adjustment allows the indication to be reset as specified by the manufacturer.
