Photographic 12-Inch Thermometer
The Paterson 12-inch color thermometer is designed for darkroom use with both color and black-and-white processes. It provides an extended temperature range of 60-150 DegreeF (15-65 Degree C). Easy-to-read calibrations are marked at 0.5 Degree increments. Accuracy is rated within +/- 0.25 Degree for reliable results.
Simple Setup With Storage Tube
Installation requires only immersing the thermometer in the solution and reading the calibrated scale. No assembly, power source or calibration procedure is needed. The included plastic storage tube protects the glass body when not in use. The main risk is breakage if the glass is struck against the developing tank or sink.
0.5 Degree Calibration Accuracy
The critical specification is the calibration interval of 0.5 Degree F (0.5 Degree C) with an accuracy tolerance of +/- 0.25 Degree. This precision determines whether the thermometer meets the tight temperature control required for color processing. Buyers needing coarser readings for less critical applications may find this level of precision unnecessary.

Questions about this item
How do I verify the thermometer reads correctly after I start using it?
Check that the liquid column sits on a calibration line; each mark represents .5 degree and the instrument is accurate to within +/- .25 degree.
What comes in the package and is anything else required?
The box contains the 12 inch thermometer and a plastic storage tube; no extra items are needed for operation.
Which temperature scale should I choose for color processing work?
The same unit shows both 60 to 150 DegreeF and 15 to 65 DegreeC, so a single thermometer covers every color and black-and-white process.
