Elcometer 212 Digital Pocket Thermometer
Fast temperature measurement for liquids and surfaces
The Elcometer 212 Digital Pocket Thermometer is a compact, fast-response instrument designed for routine temperature measurements in coating inspection, industrial finishing and other field applications. Depending on the model selected, it is supplied with an integrated stainless steel probe for measuring either liquid temperature or surface temperature.
Temperature readings are available in under four seconds, making the Elcometer 212 particularly useful when inspectors need to make multiple measurements quickly. Its pocket-sized format and folding probe make it easy to carry between inspection locations while helping protect the probe from accidental damage when the instrument is not in use.
Choose a liquid or surface temperature model
The Elcometer 212 is available in two versions. Model G212—-1A incorporates a liquid probe for measuring paints, coatings and other liquids, while model G212—-2A incorporates a surface probe for direct contact temperature measurements. Both versions use a K-type thermocouple and provide the same measurement range and instrument accuracy.
Liquid temperature measurements
The liquid-probe version is suitable for checking the temperature of paints and other liquid materials before or during use. Monitoring coating temperature can be important because temperature can influence viscosity and application characteristics.
Surface temperature measurements
The surface-probe version provides direct contact measurement of substrate temperature. In coating applications, surface temperature is an important climatic parameter when evaluating whether conditions are suitable for painting and whether condensation may be a concern.
Wide measuring range with fast response
The Elcometer 212 measures from -49.9°C to +299.9°C (-58°F to +572°F). Accuracy is ±0.4°C (±0.7°F) up to 199.9°C (392°F) and ±1°C (±1.8°F) above this temperature.
Users can switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit and select either 0.1°C / 0.1°F or 1°C / 1°F resolution, allowing the display to be configured according to the measurement task.
Designed for demanding inspection environments
The thermometer is housed in a water-resistant case with integrated rubber seals. A moulded flush window helps prevent dirt and liquid from reaching and damaging the LCD display, making the instrument suitable for regular use in industrial and coating inspection environments.
When measurement is complete, the probe folds neatly into the side of the instrument. This protects the probe during storage and transport while maintaining the compact pocket-sized design.

Q&A
What is the difference between the two Elcometer 212 models?
The G212—-1A has an integrated liquid probe, while the G212—-2A has an integrated surface probe. The thermometer’s principal measurement specifications are otherwise the same, so the model should be selected according to what needs to be measured.
How quickly does the Elcometer 212 provide a temperature reading?
The fast-response stainless steel probe can provide a temperature reading in under four seconds, making the thermometer convenient for repeated field measurements.
Can one Elcometer 212 measure both liquids and surfaces?
The Elcometer 212 is offered as separate liquid-probe and surface-probe versions. The probe is integrated into the instrument rather than being an interchangeable accessory, so the appropriate version should be selected when ordering.
Is the Elcometer 212 waterproof?
The manufacturer describes the Elcometer 212 as water-resistant. Its case incorporates rubber seals and a moulded flush window to help prevent dirt and liquid from damaging the LCD. It should not be confused with the Elcometer 213/2, which is specifically rated IP66 and IP67.
Can the Elcometer 212 display Fahrenheit as well as Celsius?
Yes. Users can switch the instrument between °C and °F and can also select either 0.1-degree or 1-degree display resolution.
How is the probe protected during transport?
The probe folds back into the side of the thermometer when it is not being used. This reduces the risk of probe damage and keeps the instrument compact for storage and field transport.
