Product Description:
Maintaining the correct temperature and humidity levels inside an incubator is essential for successful egg incubation. Whether you are breeding poultry, reptiles, or exotic birds, accurate environmental control is key to achieving high hatch rates. This GQF Incubator Thermometer / Hygrometer is a top-tier instrument designed to provide highly precise temperature and humidity readings, ensuring an optimal incubation environment.
This wet bulb thermometer is an industry favorite due to its accuracy, easy readability, and durable construction. It is specifically designed for use in circulated air incubators, where a fan evenly distributes heat and humidity, allowing for precise measurements that can significantly impact the success of your hatch.
This thermometer is equipped with a wet bulb system, which accurately measures relative humidity. It comes with attached wicks, which must be placed in a water-filled humidity pan. As the water evaporates from the wick, the thermometer measures the cooling effect, allowing you to calculate humidity levels precisely using a wet bulb chart.
Unlike traditional digital hygrometers, the wet bulb method is more reliable and consistent in measuring humidity, making it ideal for serious breeders and hatchery operators.
This thermometer is one of the most accurate incubator thermometers available. It is manufactured by GQF, a trusted name in incubation equipment. It features a 4-inch (10 cm) stainless steel stem designed to be inserted through a 5/32-inch hole in your incubator. This allows for easy external monitoring without opening the incubator, preventing unnecessary heat and humidity loss.
The temperature scale ranges from 25°F to 125°F (-4°C to 52°C) and is marked in 1-degree increments, allowing for precise adjustments to your incubator’s settings.
Unlike small digital displays that can be difficult to read, this thermometer features a large, 2-inch analog dial. The clear, high-contrast markings ensure that temperature readings are visible at a glance, even in dimly lit incubator rooms.
The 4-inch probe will be inserted through a small pre-drilled hole in your incubator, ensuring a secure and stable fit. This allows continuous monitoring without opening the incubator door, helping maintain stable temperature and humidity.
Why Choose the Hova-Bator GQF Incubator Thermometer?
Unlike digital thermometers and hygrometers, which can be affected by battery life, calibration issues, or sensor degradation, the Hova-Bator GQF Incubator Thermometer / Hygrometer provides consistent, reliable, and highly accurate readings.
This professional-grade thermometer is trusted by poultry, reptile breeders, and hatchery operators worldwide. It is the best choice if you need a dependable, long-lasting solution for monitoring your incubator.
How to Use the Wet Bulb Thermometer in Your Incubator
