PART 6: TEMPERATURE INDICATING MATERIALS<br />
6.0 General<br />
A temperature indicating stick (chalk or crayon) is typically made of materials<br />
with calibrated melting points and temperature measuring accuracies to ± 1<br />
percent. Indicators are available in closely spaced increments over a range<br />
from 38 °C (100 °F) to 1,370 °C (2,500 °F). The workpiece to be tested is<br />
marked with the stick. When the workpiece attains the predetermined melting<br />
point of the indicator mark, the mark instantly liquefies, notifying the observer<br />
that the workpiece has reached that temperature.<br />
