Blast Hole Temperature Probe

Easy to use, durable borehole temperature probe.
· SKU 01-057

Developed by MTi GROUP in the same configuration as the MiTiMEASURE, the thermometer is durable and low cost compared with geotechnical instrumentation. The product consists of 30m of K type thermocouple which is marked in graduations of 0.5m. Used for measuring borehole temperature, the thermometer hot hole dipping tape is great for QA checks on blast holes before loading.

Why this product

Why Blast Hole Temperature Probe

Low-cost geotech tool

Simple, affordable temperature measurement purpose-built for blast holes.

Why it matters: Get critical hot-hole data without expensive instruments. Pays for itself in one avoided incident.

Measures up to 100°C

Reads temperatures from ambient up to 100°C at the sensor tip.

Why it matters: Covers the full range you need to assess reactive ground and make safe loading decisions.

30m or 50m lengths

Available in 30-meter and 50-meter cable lengths to suit your bench height.

Why it matters: Reach the bottom of deep holes without extension cables. Choose the length that fits your operation.

Hot hole dip suitability

Purpose-designed for lowering into blast holes to check for reactive ground conditions.

Why it matters: The right tool for the job — not a repurposed lab thermometer. Built for how blast crews measure.

0.5m increment marks

Cable marked every half-meter so you know exactly where the sensor is in the hole.

Why it matters: Pinpoint the hot zone depth without guessing. Accurate depth data for your loading plan.

Durable and accurate

Rugged sensor and cable handle repeated hole insertions. Consistent accuracy over time.

Why it matters: Reliable readings shift after shift. You trust the number, you make the right call.

Benefits

Built for the bench.

Find the hot hole

Identify ground temperature anomalies before you charge — the first defense against fume events.

Field-grade probe

Built for the bench. K-type thermocouple at the end of a 30 m reach.

Built for every condition

Built for every condition.

Hot ground (coal seams)

PRB-style hot ground demands temperature monitoring before charging.

Fume-event prevention

Pair the thermometer with BLASTSHIELD™ liner — proven combination for cast-blast fume control.

When to pick each
Depth Gauge

Pick the Depth Gauge when you want a reliable depth check at the lowest cost-per-tool in the collection. Fiberglass line, tough connector that won't snag on rough collars, optional 8/12/16 oz teardrop or cylinder weights. Sizes 25 ft – 200 ft (15 m – 50 m). Best-seller for both UG and OP — the daily driver when the bench takes a beating and replacement cost matters.

MiTiMEASURE Polyline

Pick MITIMEASURE™ when the depth gauge has to survive the bench day after day. Blue stainless-steel core doesn't stretch under load, doesn't tangle in wet holes, and gives solid feedback the moment the weight hits bottom. Costs about 3× a basic depth gauge — the math works when crews stop replacing their line every few months. Sizes 20 m – 50 m (60 ft – 200 ft), marked every 0.5 m for fast reading. Built for QAQC measurements, deep holes, and pattern surveying.

Tape & Reel

Pick this combo when you're measuring every production hole on every shift and need something simple, reliable, and immune to dead batteries. High-visibility miner's tape drops through dust, cuttings, and water with a sinker weight (8 oz, 12 oz, or 16 oz / 227–454 g) pulling the line down a clean path. Cheapest cost-per-measurement in the collection. Fits standard production holes; pairs with any depth-gauge kit.

Lead Weights

Pick Lead Weights when you're running TuffTape, MITIMEASURE, or a Depth Gauge that didn't come with a weight pre-attached. Non-sparking lead in 8, 12, 16, or 24 oz (227–680 g), teardrop or cylinder style. The 8 oz handles most production holes; step up to 16 or 24 oz when water, dust, or cuttings start fighting your drop. If you order a depth gauge with a weight, we'll connect the two with a durable, non-snagging fitting.

Blast Hole Temperature Probe

Pick the Blast Hole Temperature Probe when you're working reactive ground, sulfide ore, or any site with a history of heated holes. K-type thermocouple, 30 m / 98 ft of downline marked every 0.5 m, FLUKE 51-2 thermometer in the kit, 450 g (16 oz) dipweight pre-attached. Comfortable to 100°C / 212°F; reads higher but with reduced shielding life. Important: this is the only product in the collection that isn't non-sparking, so don't use it where non-sparking gear is required.

Emulsion Weight

Pick the Emulsion Weight when you're loading bulk emulsion and need to confirm explosive height before charge goes down. The plastic collar slows at the top of the emulsion column, letting you read where the explosive ends and the water begins. Two variants: 3" with 8 oz (76 mm / 227 g) for smaller holes, 4" with 16 oz (102 mm / 454 g) for larger ones. No batteries, no electronics — just a density check at the hole.
