JKORS Smart TPM Oil Quality Sensor Technical Datasheet Overview
JKORS Smart TPM Oil Quality Sensor
In industrial frying environments, oil quality monitoring must be precise, repeatable, and validated. A technical datasheet is not simply a marketing document — it defines measurable performance parameters that determine whether a sensor can operate reliably in high-temperature commercial kitchens.
This article provides an overview of the JKORS Smart TPM Oil Quality Sensor technical specification and validation metrics.
Measurement Principle
The JKORS Smart TPM Sensor uses AC impedance-based conductivity measurement and an embedded conversion algorithm to estimate TPM (Total Polar Materials).
As frying oil degrades, polar oxidation by-products increase ionic conductivity within the oil. The sensor applies an AC signal across the electrodes, measures the resulting impedance changes, and converts these variations into real-time TPM percentage values.
Measurement Range:
0.0 – 40.0 %TPM
This range covers the full operational window of commercial frying systems, including the commonly accepted discard threshold of 24–27% TPM.
Accuracy and Precision
The technical datasheet defines multiple performance metrics rather than relying on a single accuracy statement.
Measurement Accuracy: ±2% of Full Scale (0–40% TPM range)
Precision (Coefficient of Variation): 0.64% – 4.0% (n=10 repeated measurements)
Standard Deviation: 0.12 %TPM (n=30)
These values indicate stable repeatability under controlled testing conditions.
Validation Metrics
Performance validation includes statistical comparison against reference analytical methods.
Correlation Coefficient (R²): ≥ 0.90 (n=30)
Agreement Rate within ±10% tolerance: ≥ 93%
R² demonstrates strong linear correlation with reference measurements, while tolerance agreement provides additional verification within defined error margins.
Temperature Performance
Frying environments demand high thermal resistance and stable measurement performance.
Measurement Temperature Range: 20°C – 200°C
Storage Temperature: 0°C – 80°C
Operating Temperature: 10°C – 60°C
Built-in High-Temperature RTD
Algorithm-Based Temperature Compensation
The sensor maintains stable performance under continuous exposure to elevated oil temperatures.
Mechanical & Environmental Specifications
Designed for industrial kitchen deployment, the sensor includes:
Ceramic substrate with platinum (Pt) etched electrode structure
Heat Resistance Rating: ≥ 200°C (sensor tip)
Ingress Protection Rating: IP65
Power Supply: DC 24V / 2A
These specifications ensure durability in oil vapor, moisture, and high-heat environments.
Communication & Integration
The JKORS Smart TPM Sensor supports:
RS232 / RS485 (standard)
Ethernet (standard)
BLE (optional)
This allows integration into smart fryers, centralized kitchen control systems, and autonomous robotic cooking platforms.
The JKORS Smart TPM Sensor technical datasheet outlines validated measurement performance, industrial durability, and integration capability suitable for smart frying systems and autonomous kitchen applications.
By defining statistical validation metrics and high-temperature operational limits, the sensor provides a structured foundation for data-driven oil quality management in commercial frying operations.
