DSP-1  Disposable sterile sheaths for use with OT-1 and RET-1, per 1000

    SST-1  Skin Surface probe, to be taped on.1/4" dia. 10 Kt. gold  sensor disc, 5 ft. lead. Max. Temp. 90°C. Time constant 0.15 secs. Not isolated.
    SST-2  as SST-1 but with plastic handle. Isolated.

Time constant is defined as the time required to reach 63 % of final temperature in liquid. An accurate reading is obtained when the reading stops changing, typically 5-10 time constants.

Maximum Temperature refers to intermittent use of a probe. When probe is used for continuous measurements, max. temp. should be reduced by 25 % unless specified.
