The melted mark or colour change provides permanent visual confirmation that the temperature was reached — useful for documentation, quality control, and inspection. For welding pre-heat verification across long structural welds, marking the workpiece with multiple temperature crayons (one slightly below required pre-heat, one slightly above) provides clear go\/no-go indication that thermometer measurement can't deliver as easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTemperature ranges available\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTempilstik crayons cover temperatures from approximately 50°C through 1000°C in standard increments. Common ranges for welding pre-heat work: 100°C, 150°C, 200°C, 250°C, 300°C. For heat treatment: 400°C, 500°C, 600°C, 700°C. For high-temperature process work: 800°C through 1000°C. Each crayon is rated for a specific temperature; the rating is printed on the crayon and packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to use temperature crayons\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMark the workpiece by drawing a line with the crayon — the crayon leaves a wax mark. As the workpiece heats, the mark remains solid until the rated temperature is reached, then melts cleanly. The melted mark provides permanent visual record. For pre-heat verification, mark the workpiece with the required pre-heat temperature crayon; as the workpiece heats during pre-heat, monitor the mark until it melts to confirm temperature reached. For do-not-exceed monitoring, mark with the crayon at the maximum allowable temperature; if the mark stays solid, temperature stayed below the limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBrands stocked at AIMS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTempilstik (Tempil) is the established brand for industrial temperature indicators — long product history, broad temperature range, and reliable performance.
