What is the temperature range an armory thermometer shall read?

• A. -4 to 131 Degrees
• B. -40 to 180 Degrees
• C. -20 to 100 Degrees
• D. -10 to 120 Degrees

Answer: (A)

Monitoring armory conditions requires a thermometer that can read across the temperatures you’re likely to see in storage, so you can detect when conditions move out of safe limits for ammunition and equipment. The range from -4 to 131 degrees Fahrenheit covers conditions from just below freezing to hot summer levels, giving you a reliable window to spot excursions before they become a problem. This range fits standard armory guidance and ensures the instrument remains within its rated performance while still capturing potentially hazardous heat or cold events. The other options either don’t reach high enough temperatures, go far beyond what’s realistically needed, or don’t align with the typical monitoring range used for armory storage.
