FAQs

We have tried to answer the most common questions we are asked here.

Liquid products expand and contract with temperature changes. For accurate billing and inventory reconciliation, the volume of a product must be corrected to a standard reference temperature (often 60 °F or 15 °C). The MCG 300’s precise temperature readings ensure this volume correction is accurate, preventing costly financial disputes.

Yes. The MCG 300 is built with a robust stainless-steel probe, making it highly durable and resistant to corrosion. Other materials are also available to suit specific chemical applications, ensuring long-term reliability in harsh tank conditions.

The MCG 300 uses a reference lead to cancel out the resistance from the lead wires. This is a crucial feature that ensures the measured resistance is solely from the temperature-sensing element, leading to uncompromised accuracy and reducing potential errors caused by wire length or temperature fluctuations.
