Telatemp's non-reversible temperature recording labels indicate excessive temperatures in machinery, signaling the need for preventive maintenance. The temperature label's immediate visual indication provides warning of abnormal conditions. Each adhesive-backed label can measure a 50°F range through an array of six sealed temperature sensing windows which are calibrated in ten degree increments. In use, when the surface temperature reaches the temperature of that particular window, the indicator permanently turns black. The action takes place in less than a second and provides the user with a visual record of the highest temperature reached.

The portable Leak Finder is an easy-to-use troubleshooting tool to accurately find small leaks in chambers, connections or parts. It is a rechargeable container for helium gas with a user-friendly spray nozzle. Helium is sprayed onto the suspected leak location of a part or chamber and can then be observed on a mass spectrometer system that continuously measures the helium concentration in the part while under vacuum. A leak is immediately identified if helium is drawn into the part or chamber by the vacuum inside. The mass spectrometer responds to concentration change caused by new helium being drawn into the part or chamber. The timing of the response corresponds with the location of the helium being sprayed at the time of the response to accurately indicate the leak location.
