COMET CZ550 – Type K Penetrating Needle Probe (-65 to +550 °C), Subminiature Connector

COMET CZ550 – Ultra-fast Penetration Needle Probe Type K (-65 to +550 °C), t90 ≈ 3 s, Stainless Steel V4A, Class 1 Accuracy (±1.5 °C or ±0.4 %), Subminiature Plug

The COMET CZ550 is the ultra-fast penetration needle probe Type K with subminiature plug – the ideal solution for lightning-fast and highly precise core temperature measurements in soft materials like foods (meat, fish, dough, cheese), pastes, fermentation substrates, compost, soil, bulk materials, semi-solid masses or liquids. With a measurement range of -65 to +550 °C, an extremely short response time t90 ≈ 3 seconds and Class 1 accuracy according to IEC 584-2 (±1.5 °C or ±0.4 % of measured value – greater value applies), it meets the highest requirements for speed and precision. The needle made of stainless steel V4A (1.4401) guarantees high corrosion resistance, hygiene and durability – perfect for food, pharma and process controls.

The integrated subminiature male plug ensures secure and quick connection to handheld meters, data loggers, controllers or multimeters. The slim needle design enables effortless penetration into soft media with minimal sample disturbance. Whether as mobile test probe in the lab or production, fixed probe in systems – the CZ550 convinces with extreme measurement speed, precision, hygiene and easy handling.

The probe is maintenance-free, long-term stable and designed for daily professional use. V4A stainless steel optimally protects against corrosion and is food-safe. Intuitive handling: insert probe, plug in connector, start measurement. The slim needle design allows use in small samples, tight containers or deep bulk materials. Whether for quick spot-checks in the field, continuous monitoring in production or as supplement to existing measurement systems – the CZ550 is the first choice for professionals demanding ultra-fast, accurate and hygienic core temperature measurements.
