To stabilize the helix in thermometer
Yes, a thermometer can record the temperature of a boiling pot. By placing the thermometer in the liquid or steam coming from the pot, it can measure the temperature accurately. Be sure to use a thermometer that is designed to measure high temperatures.
The lower fixed point of a clinical thermometer is the temperature of the ice point (0°C) and the upper fixed point is the temperature of the steam point (100°C at standard atmospheric pressure). These fixed points are used to calibrate the thermometer for accurate temperature measurements.
For a normal thermometer you can use warm water and soap. The body cavity you are sticking it into is not a wound and is not sterile so neither does the thermometer have to be. When they use a electrical thermometer at the hospital they have plastic coats they put on them, one for each patient. These are clean but not sterile. Depends on the design. The steam is so much hotter than what the thermometer's top level is that it can be damaged by steam.
When dry steam enters a wet steam filled vessel, it can cause the wet steam to condense as the dry steam releases its latent heat energy to the surrounding wet steam. This condensation increases the moisture content in the vessel and may lead to water accumulation.
No, salt does not affect the temperature of steam. Adding salt to water increases the boiling point of the water, but once the water has turned into steam, the temperature of the steam remains the same.
Steam can be measured in terms of volume or mass flow rate using flow meters, or in terms of pressure using pressure gauges. Additionally, steam quality can be measured using devices such as steam traps or steam quality meters to ensure its effectiveness in various applications.
In order for a high temperature boiler or steam engine to produce superheated water, or steam?
To effectively steam meat, ensure the water is simmering, not boiling, and use a steamer basket or rack to keep the meat above the water. Cover the pot tightly to trap steam, and cook until the meat reaches the desired internal temperature. Check with a meat thermometer for doneness.
You can estimate the temperature of water by observing its state: hot water will produce steam or bubbles, warm water will feel tepid, and cold water will feel cooler to the touch. Another method is to mix the water with another liquid of known temperature and observe the resulting temperature change.
Depends on the temperature of the thing you want to cool down. If it's warmer than the steam, then steam will cool it to the temperature of the steam. If it's already cooler than the steam, then steam can't cool it.
The temperature of 110 psi steam is approximately 338 degrees Fahrenheit.
The steam temperature at 10 PSI is approximately 239 degrees Fahrenheit.
