Compare TBX 600 and 725 dimensions accurately

Do not assume equal width or crate fit. Check external and internal dimensions for the exact model code, then trial with your packaging.

Will the TBX 410 fit? Dimensions and clearance

Compare maker dimensions with door, vehicle and turning clearance; the TBX 410's 410 L volume alone does not show fit.

Verify conditions in a thermal report

Before interpreting a curve, verify the model, load, ambient conditions, sensor location and test method.

The difference between sublimation and phase change
5 January 2025
The difference between sublimation and phase change

Sublimation is the kind of phase change that goes straight from solid to gas, which is how dry ice is used up. A eutectic plate works between solid and liquid at a chosen melting point and is frozen again.

Assess ambient-temperature changes by measuring the real load
4 January 2025
Assess ambient-temperature changes by measuring the real load

The ambient-to-interior difference affects heat transfer; hold time may not change linearly. Record shade, wind and load.

How to ask for insulation performance in a quote

Compare quotes by lambda, panel U-value, complete-body performance and matched test conditions, then request the holding-hours protocol in writing.

Read a container warming curve from your route trial

Simple curve models explain behaviour; they do not guarantee duration. Record sensor location and conditions with the actual load.

Align conditions when two devices disagree

Align conditions when two devices disagree

Compare calibration status, sensor location and measurement time. Do not choose a reference until both devices measure the same item and point.

Check how a sensor cable affects the gasket line

If the cable affects lid closure, the measurement setup has changed. Verify a manufacturer-defined pass-through or route it outside the seal.

Monitor logger batteries in the cold using device data

Review battery performance by cell type, device and use conditions. If records have gaps, compare battery, temperature and communication logs.

Validate a glycol simulator against the product

Validate a glycol simulator against the product

A glycol bottle imitates a defined thermal response; do not assume product equivalence. Trial its fill, volume and placement against the load.

Emissivity error in infrared thermometers

Emissivity error in infrared thermometers

An infrared thermometer reads the radiation a surface emits. On a shiny surface it sees the reflection of its surroundings instead of the product's heat, so the acceptance decision rests on a probe placed between packs.
