Can i use this to get the the temperature of water?

Yes, you can. But remember this is not an extended scale, nor is the instrument built to survive boiling water. So definitely do not buy this instrument if you have to measure water temperatures in the 200+ degree range. They make very good candy thermometers for that use. CAS

If the temperature of the water is within the display range of the thermometer, yes. That range is about 90 to 108 degrees, I think. So if you are looking for a way to assess the temperature of a baby's formula, it might work. But for a broader range, you need a thermometer with a more complete range.

This thermometer is designed to measure the human body temperature which can not go below or above certain limits. While water can go down to freezing and up to boiling. I am not sure it can accurately read temperature values outside the human body tempreture. Why not buy an industrial thermometer. I don't think they are more expensive.

I can test boiling water with mine, but it only uses Fahrenheit mode. It doesn't seem to switch. Don't know. They seem to be very good units, but they don't last very long. You cannot get the unit wet (other than the stem). It will kill it

they both work well. I use mine to read the temp of my automobile components (exhaust hedders, water, etc) If you need a device that is incredibly accurate, youre looking at the wrong thing,however, if you just want to know the temp of an object, the cheapest one will do the job.

It will only measure surface temp. I use it to measure the temperature of milk for cheese making and I have to stir it really well before I measure to get an accurate reading.

Some of these units come with a clip to allow you to attach it to the side of a pot. So long as the probe is not touching the bottom or side of the pot you should get a reliable reading. Just be sure you have stirred the pot so the temp of the liquid is uniform.

The easiest way is with an electric kettle that has a digital temperature readout. Bonavita makes a good one. No thought or measurement required.

It can only read surface temperatures. For meat you would need a probe type thermometer.

It could be used for measuring pressure ONLY if it is a low pressure you are wanting to measure. I do not think you could measure the flow of water with it.

I've never tried but I would assume not. I believe it's only meant to measure air temperature.

As others have said, it probably will not do what you are probably looking for since it will only provide a surface temperature. However, if you want to know the temperature of a frying pan, or the interior of an oven, or the inside of your freezer, theses are all things the unit can do.

Yes, you can use it to measure liquid temperatures. I use mine to measure fudge temps when I am making fudge, and jam temps also. To determine the accuracy of yours, boil a pan of water. When it is boiling vigorously, place the tip of the probe into the water (not touching the pan) and it should read 212 degrees. Use the difference as a correction factor when measuring your liquids.

No. It only measures surface temps. On a side note, my unit broke within an hour of delivery. I would not recommend this product.

This device is intended to measure the temperature of surfaces, as walls, floors, ceilings and such. IF you had a warm wall with cold water leaking behind it, OR a cold wall with hot water leaking behind it, the device may be able to detect that, but I certainly wouldn't want to guarantee that. If you have water leaking behind a wall, it would seem as you should see some puddling, weeping, or evidence of water in the area ??Russ Pratt, Webster, MA

As long as it is in water yes. It is not prepared to measure air temperature.

No, it reads the surface temperature of whatever object you point it at. You can't "point it" at clear air -- it will read the temperature of the surface across the room.

Yes, this tool see temperatures not anything else so if their is a water leak there will be a temperature difference.

Yes you can. This thermometer is very flexible and doesn't have all of the "preset" settings like so many others. You can program it easily to give you an alert for the desired temperature. Most versatile thermometer I have owned yet.
