Blast Hole Temperature Probe
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.
Live pricing and same-day-ship priority once you're in. Setup takes 60 seconds — we just need to confirm you're a real operation.

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.
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.
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.

| What It Measures | Hole depth (engineered tape measure, budget) | Hole depth (engineered polyline, premium) | Hole depth (manual dip-tape) | Sinker weight for any tape, polyline, or gauge | Distance, slope, inclination | In-hole temperature | Explosive height in a column of water | Position, waypoints, routes |
| Range / Coverage | 25 ft – 200 ft / 15 m – 50 m, optional 8/12/16 oz teardrop or cylinder weights | 20 m – 50 m / 60 ft – 200 ft, marked every 0.5 m, optional 8/12/16 oz weights | TuffTape brand: 35 m / 65 m (115 ft / 213 ft). Fiberglass variants on same page: 100, 200, 300 ft (30 / 61 / 91 m) with optional 8/12/16 oz weights | 8 / 12 / 16 / 24 oz (227 – 680 g); teardrop OR cylinder | Up to 3,900 ft (1,200 m) non-reflective; 7,200 ft (2,195 m) reflective; ±0.5 m distance, ±0.5° angle | 30 m / 98 ft length, marked every 0.5 m. Comfortable to 100°C / 212°F | 3" with 8 oz (76 mm / 227 g) or 4" with 16 oz (102 mm / 454 g) | Multi-GNSS: GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS — global |
| Build / Power | Fiberglass line with tough connector that won't snag on rough collars; lowest cost-per-tool in the engineered-gauge category | Blue stainless-steel core — no stretch, no tangle, thick protective coating, solid feedback when dipping; ~3× the price of a Depth Gauge | 12 mm transparent abrasive-resistant ribbon, 50% thicker than other brands, reverse-readable up to 4 m / 13 ft | Non-sparking lead; pairs with TuffTape, MITIMEASURE, or Depth Gauge | IP67 rugged housing, 5x scope, CR2 battery (~10 hr) | K-type thermocouple + FLUKE 51-2 thermometer + CORDWHEEL + 450 g (16 oz) dipweight; battery-powered | Plastic collar that slows at the top of the emulsion column, lead weight on the bottom | IPX7 water-resistant, 2.2" display, digital compass, AA battery (168 hr life) |

| Best Fit | Best-seller daily driver when budget matters | Crews that don't want to replace their depth gauge often and want something durable | Daily production drilling | Wet, dusty, or obstructed holes | Burden, spacing, face height, bench layout | Reactive ground, hot holes, sulfide ore | Density / charge depth QA before bulk loading | Pattern layout, collar locations, site nav |

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
