CEM DT-70 Deep-Frying Oil Tester (TPM and Oil Temperature)

CEM DT-70 Deep-Frying Oil Tester

The CEM DT-70 is a handy measuring instrument for fast testing of cooking oils. It displays the temperature of the cooking oil together with the TPM value. The TPM value (total polar materials) enables a statement on the ageing of cooking oils due to the effects of heat.

The sensor works on a capacitive basis and gives the total polar materials as a percentage, over a range of 0 to 40 % with 0.5 % resolution and ±2 % accuracy. Oil temperature is measured from 40 to 200 °C (104 to 392 °F) with ±1.5 °C accuracy, and the TPM response time is under 30 s. The measurement is carried out directly in the hot oil, with the measuring tip held in the fryer.

The instrument is used in gastronomy and by food inspectors. According to the recommendations of the DGF (German Society for Fat Science), 24 % polar compounds is regarded as the limit for a deep-frying fat; national regulations on maximum limits are to be observed where applicable.
