No matter how accurate the equipment is the results will always be affected by how well the measuring device is fitted to or in the measuring place. This is the main reason for having a large range of fittings devices and tools.
Fittings:
Packing glands
Space bars
Distance pieces
Thermal Barriers
Cutting tools and spanners
Packing glands
The packing gland is the device that makes sure that the measuring sensor is able to be introduced into the product and to measure at the cold spot without compromising the packaging system. With an Ellab fitting the impact on the measurement is minimized. Another benefit is the ability to always to be able to measure at the same spot, which minimizes the systematic errors of testing. A third benefit is a stable contact point between the packaging and the measuring device, which ensures that the system is more stable and less prone to damage.
Packing glands are available for inserting sensors into any variety of packaging. The glands are threaded to accept sensors and will maintain the seal when pressurized.

Space bars
The space bars make the usage of the data loggers more flexible as measuring one product requires one length of sensor and another product requires another length of sensor. To solve this problem there are two solutions. Either buying two sensors with different lengths or to buy one sensor and one space bar. The choice is up to you!
Having many different products and performing many validation measurements for the same product really shows the economical benefit of having one length on all sensors and many space bars (the economical benefit is even bigger when the loggers are double sensors).
Distance pieces
Measuring at the cold spot in e.g. a flexible bag is almost impossible without using a device to place the sensor firmly in the cold spot.
Thermal Barriers The system is designed for use at temperatures between +200 °C and +400 °C (392 °F to 750 °F) and the characteristic of the system is that the maximum allowed process duration is limited. The datalogger can withstand 150 °C (302 °F) whereas the high temperature sensors can go up 400 °C (750 °F). Inserting the logger into the Thermal Barrier keeps it protected from the high temperature.
The Thermal Barriers consists of a stainless steel base cylinder in which the Thermal Barrier and the inner Thermal Barriers (2 pcs.) are placed on top of each other. The cylinder has a stainless steel lid.
