PROTON Products Introduces its New
InteliTHERMTM HTG 400 Handheld Wire
Temperature Gauge
PROTON Products, the global leader for
wire and cable measurement and control
instruments, recently introduced its new
InteliTHERM HTG400 Handheld Wire
Temperature Gauge at Interwire 2017 held
in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. This instrument
is suitable for use on all bare wire types
and comprises a special bimetallic wheel
construction with integrated electronics for
precise, responsive measurement performance.
It provides high-precision wire temperature
measurement of better than ±0.5oC up to
400oC (752oF).
screen for clarity. The gauge is fully portable and is
supplied with an integrated battery that provides
more than 1000 measurements from a full charge.
The bare wire measurement diameter range covers
from 0.3mm to 10mm (0.018in to 0.393in) and can
measure line speeds up to 2000m/min.
Preheating the conductor is essential to
eliminate “Thermal Shock” between a cold
(ambient temperature) wire and a relatively hot
material flowing from the extruder. Preheating
the conductor to the same temperature as the
extruded insulation eliminates voids that cause
pinholes and spark faults, which helps to ensure
the correct adhesion and electrical properties of
the finished product.
This innovative instrument requires the user
to simply touch the wire on the exit from the
preheater to get an accurate wire temperature
reading. The temperature can be shown in
either Centigrade or Fahrenheit using a single
pushbutton and the results are viewed on an
easy-to-read LCD display with an LED backlight
