170C

170C, when written with a degree symbol as 170°C, usually denotes a temperature of 170 degrees Celsius. As a temperature value, it equals 338 degrees Fahrenheit. The expression is used in cooking, materials testing, and industrial processes, and also appears as a model or part number in various product catalogs.

In culinary use, 170°C is a common oven setting for baking and roasting. It provides moderate-high heat that encourages browning while avoiding excessive scorching. Baking times depend on recipe and pan size; conversions to Fahrenheit are sometimes provided for U.S. kitchens.

In materials science and engineering, 170°C serves as a test or cure temperature for certain polymers and adhesives, or as the upper bound in temperature resistance ratings. Some plastics, elastomers, and solders have 170°C as a rating or exposure limit, with performance expected above or below that threshold depending on formulation.

As a designation, 170C can appear as a model number, lot code, or part identifier in catalogs and datasheets, and its meaning is context dependent. Without accompanying context, it is not a standalone standard or specification.
