Description
The thermocouple sensor can be used wirelessly via Bluetooth or wired via USB with the Coach 7 or Coach 7 lite programs/apps on computers (Windows and Mac), Chromebooks and mobile devices (Android and iOS).
The Thermocouple sensor W58 is factory-calibrated in °C. When working with the Coach program the pre-defined calibration can be shifted by using the Set to Value option.
Warning: Can be damaged when used in the presence of sulphur or under reducing conditions.

Suggested physics and chemistry experiments:
- Low temperature experiments (< 0 °C)
- Compare freezing points of pure water and saltwater solutions
- Record the temperature profile of water, ethanol, or oil as they are cooled below 0 °C
- Moderate temperature measurements (0 to 150 °C)
- Measuring freezing and boiling points
- Specific heat experiments
- Measurement of breath temperature
- High temperature measurements ( > 150 °C)
- Measure temperature at different regions in a Bunsen burner or candle flame (inner cone, outer cone, tip)
- Measure ignition temperature of materials paper, wood shavings or cooking oil
- Heat one end of a metal rod with a flame and record the temperature gradient along the rod
- Experimentally determine the melting point of copper, bismuth, or other solids
