Ruhhy bitumen baking thermometer Malatec 23813 — Ruhhy Malatec 23813

Ruhhy Malatec 23813 is a bitumen baking thermometer designed for monitoring the temperature of heated bitumen and similar viscous materials during roofing, waterproofing, and construction processes. The instrument provides a clear temperature readout to help maintain proper processing conditions when melting or reheating bitumen, ensuring material consistency and safer handling.

Advantages

The Ruhhy Malatec 23813 offers accurate surface and pool temperature measurement for viscous materials. Its design allows quick temperature checks while working with hot bitumen, reducing the need for frequent sampling and minimizing heat loss. The thermometer is suitable for both professional contractors and DIY users needing reliable thermal monitoring during application and repair tasks.

Suitable for

• Measuring surface temperature of heated bitumen during roofing and sealing work
• Monitoring pool temperature in kettles or melting pots for viscous materials
• Temperature checks during repair and maintenance of waterproofing membranes
• Use on construction sites and workshops where controlled heating of asphalt or similar compounds is required

Key specifications

• Designed for measuring temperature of hot bitumen and similar viscous materials
• Readable temperature display suitable for on-site checks
• Handheld format for quick, portable measurements
• Durable construction to withstand workshop and site conditions
• Suitable for both professional and amateur use

How to use

Place the thermometer probe or sensing element at the surface or just below the surface of the heated bitumen without fully submerging any non-heat-resistant parts. Allow the sensor to stabilise for a short moment to obtain a reliable reading. Avoid prolonged exposure of the instrument to direct flames or overheating beyond its intended range. Follow general safety precautions for working with hot materials, including the use of heat-resistant gloves and eye protection.

Usage recommendations

Check temperature periodically during heating to maintain the recommended processing range for the specific bitumen product you are using. Calibrate or compare readings against a known reference if precise temperature control is critical. Store the thermometer in a dry place away from direct heat when not in use.
