A wide range of thermal barriers is available from Datapaq for use with loggers
other than the XL2.
Selecting a Thermal Barrier
The protection which the thermal barrier needs to provide for the logger
depends on the nature of the process whose temperature is being profiled –
primarily its temperature and duration. Selection of the appropriate barrier
needs thus to be done carefully, as follows.
1. Plot a graph of the temperature versus time characteristics of the process.
2. Divide the horizontal axis into equal increments and draw verticals. Read
the temperature at each vertical. (The number of verticals is determined by
the complexity of the profile’s shape: more are required when the shape is
complex, fewer when it is simple.)
