Multimeter thermometer probe and electric oven

Also check your probe the same way (in boiling water) Oven thermostats are notoriously inaccurate, As they age the oven runs hotter than the set temperature I'd not guarantee that an oven which reads OK at 100C is going to be correct at 180C. -- *Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?

Well, no, but boiling water is the nearest reasonably accurate and achievable reference point available to the average householder. If it doesn't read 100°C it suggests something wrong with the probe T/C or the multimeter calibration. Lead is easy to get hold of and melts at 327'C which sorts out the top-end calibration nicely. -- "When constituencies are small their elected representatives must concern themselves with the local interests of their constituents. When political representatives are distant and faceless, on the other hand, and represent vast numbers of unknown constituents, they represent not their constituents, but special interest groups whose lobbyists are numerous and ever present. Typically in Europe a technocrat is an ex-politician or a civil servant. He is unelected, virtually impossible to dislodge during his term of employment and has been granted extensive executive and even legislative power without popular mandate and without being directly answerable to the people whose interests he falsely purports to represent." - Sir James Goldsmith (Member of the European Parliament) 1933 - 1997 |
