2. Intended use

t t e e s s t t o o 2 2 6 6 5 5 is a practical measuring instrument
for fast tests on cooking oils.
The TPM value provides information on the
ageing of the cooking oils as a result of the
effect of heat.
The following measurement tasks can be
carried out:
- Displays cooking oil temperature:
Indicator for correct setting of deep-fry
device, checks built-in temperature
displays.
- Displays TPM value (Total Polar Materials):
Indicator for ageing of cooking oil.
The sensor functions on a capacitive basis
and takes the overall level of polar materials
in % as its reading.
The oxidative change at room temperature
(rancidness) which is defined by so called
free fatty acids cannot be measured with
t t e e s s t t o o 2 2 6 6 5 5 .
The temperature of the cooking oil being
measured should be at least +40°C. The
maximum application temperature is
+210°C.
