Can it be used to clamp on a gas fireplace thermocouple and get an accurate reading?

no unless you use the ohm meter function to check continuity. That could tell you if it's open or not.

Im not familiar with thermocouple... But if u are measuring amps (mA) it will surely read. But mili volts - no
1419464
i don't think that will work as you would be measuring micro voltage , you may need a galvanometer

NO..... A thermocouple generates voltage (millivolts), the temperature difference between the 2 materials that make up the thermocouple are measured at the cold junction, you need to know what type of TC you have, then get the right kit to convert the measurement, reading Type J on a type K meter will cause a 10 degree difference....

Yes, although it is designed to take a reading and hold that temp. Not like a candy thermo where you are reading it continually. This unit will read a wall, door, window glass, tire, wheel bearing, etc. It is really designed to read hard to reach or touch, etc. situations. This does not prevent it from doing a great job in the kitchen or anywhere else. Accuracy is +/- 2% in most applications.

Yes it can. I used it at work also to make sure the ovens were at exact temp.

It's not a thermometer, it's a HEATER.A thermometer measures temperature, and you can use one of these to adjust the heater to where you want it.

I really am not sure, if what you want to measure is very low pressure than I think it would work. This unit measures in water column and is very sensitive.

Yes , but a professional should install this and it requires additional thermocouples outside and or inside depending on your requirements . In addition , this readout is "very" weak and hard to view . Take that into consideration if your customer has difficulty reading . A standard old fashion wall thermostat "does" have its advantages .

Absolutely! The contact is isolated so it can switch anything up to it's current and/or voltage rating. Your fireplace mV thermocouple signal is not a problem.

I don't know why not, I use mine for melting Al (1200-1500 deg F), but did have to buy different thermocouple (~$20).

I have used this product to control a crane humidifyer in the range of 70 to 90%. I used this device to control a solid state relay that turns on a 120VAC receptacle into which the humidfyer is plugged. I have confirmed the sensor calibration at 70%. I've used it fot two years and think it has been a very economical solution for my application. I can not provide assurance of its accuracy at 45% - though I think it would probably be fine.

The probe itself appears to be stainless (only very slightly magnetic). However, the threaded part at top of probe is quite magnetic = steel. Also, FYI, the point is blunt & fairly large dia (~3/16", about a #10 screw). I'm not a thermocouple probe expert, but I'm told that generally these probes have the sensing element all the way at the tip. The probe body can be bent to a desired shape. However, the probe body seems failry stout to me. I haven't tried to bend it - I need it straight for my application.Good luck!

Yes, but I would only use it in grill <450F as a higher temperature than that will cause the thermocouple wire to burn out. I believe Maveric states that their temperature thermometer is good to about 500F. You can call them to comfirm. I already had to replace mine because it got too hot. I plan on getting a separate instant read thermometer for about $15 for the grill. Hope this helps.

Yes it could be used. However you may need to drill holes for the temperature probes.

Typically, the internal resistance of the thermocouple sensor is much higher than the few ohms added by lengthening the wire so I do not believe it would noticeably affect the readings accuracy.

My husband said he only uses it to check the temperature of steel when he is welding. He did use it on water in a pan on the stove once. He said it was very close.

The clamp will fit and it will work, however the upstream pressure gage may read higher than the final output pressure. There can be a pressure drop across the Topeak. You may have to inflate to a higher pressure on the gage to get the pressure you want. I think this effect is more pronounced at lower pressures - I don't have good gages to measure precisely.

It can measure one circuit or the whole electrical service, You would just install the clamps on whatever circuit you want to monitor

I would think so. I use it on a gas fireplace. The thermostat is located across the room so that it is convenient and not too close to the heat source
