Comparison Gefu 21880 vs Steba AC 12

Total allowable measurement range. The minimum / maximum temperature that the thermometer is able to fix, as a rule, is also acceptable for using the device — with further cooling / heating, malfunctions are possible up to complete failure.

Low values of this parameter are crucial for outdoor dryer models. Additionally, the inherent "margin of safety" in measuring systems often results in finding sub-zero temperatures in purely indoor models. This feature can be practical, such as assessing conditions in an unheated room during winter.

Most contemporary household thermometers boast a maximum temperature range of 50 — 60 °C, sufficient for even relatively hot climates. However, there are less heat-resistant models with temperatures ranging from 30 — 40 °C. Thermometers designed for water applications have a lower maximum temperature, as it is not necessary for their intended use. Sauna thermometers typically exhibit the highest temperature resistance.
