The HiTemp140-CF combines the robust features of the standard HiTemp140 with
added versatility for direct integration into canning processes. This high-

constructed from durable stainless steel and is submersible, making it ideal
for use with retorts. It can withstand temperatures up to +140 °C (+284 °F)
and maintains an accuracy of ±0.1 °C (±0.18 °F).
This variant features a threaded end for seamless compatibility with both the
CF200 Canning Fitting and the ThermaLock-Pro Canning Fitting, enhancing its
utility in food processing applications.
The HiTemp140-CF can store up to 32,256 readings and includes a rigid external
probe that can measure temperatures up to +260 °C (+500 °F), with custom probe
lengths available up to 7 inches.
Equipped with non-volatile solid state memory, it ensures data retention even
if the battery is discharged, recording date and time stamped readings. The
HiTemp140-CF is perfectly suited for continuous use in both wet and dry
environments up to +140 °C (+284 °F).
