Default Waterproof probe?, was DC Voltage Recorder Question

These meters look great, I wish I could think of a good reason to buy
one.

I do have a meter with a temperature probe. At the end it has 1mm of
metal showing, a one inch piece of blue heatshrink tubing, and the
wire is insulated with some woven almost smooth, almost shiny white
stuff with a blue line spiraling down the wire.

Do you think this probe is waterproof?

I wanted to use it but wasn't sure and ended up using a meat
thermometer in the 190 degree water. That worked this time, but the
meter has a much broader range and if I could use it in liquids, that
would be great.

The manual says nothing about liquids or not.



I should think you could use it. The probes in the meters listed
are thermocouple type and even if water seeped into the probe sheath
the reading wouldn't be greatly affected.

As PipeDown said, a digital meter with RS322 port will do it
inexpensively. They come with Windows logging software
that will plot the results for you. I've used these in the
past with great results.

There are a few examples on eBay:
