Would this unit read to 0.1% up to 10% or more moisture? Wish to use it on a food product

It is designed and calibrated for specific buidling products. It would not work for this use, and was not the least bit accurate. Using both probes on the same material did not produce results that were remotely similar. I returned the product.

Your use of the number 0.1% would indicate you're looking for a high level of accuracy. I figure the meter is good for two or three percent plus or minus. I use mine to detect roof leaks. Six to 10 is no leak and 18 or above is a leak. Of course, as stated in the meter description, it'll measure zero to 99%. May be I don't fully understand your question!

You would need a know amount of moisture to check calibration that low but maybe. Its more for restoration work above 15%.

I don't recall, and ive resold mine to a plumber but I'd advise you to get someone at Lowes open the box for you & see. * the most accurate readings require making holes in your material though

No. Matter of fact, this is how I check/verify mine is working properly: they should read the same, or within a few degrees. I use mine in a BBQ pit.

hi manfred i suspect that it should be able to measure % of humidity in these products if it can and does work on sawdust then it should work on your products. regards bluey

I cannot answer that! I use the product to suck moisture out of anything I store in bags since I live on a boat in humid. Onditions.

yes you can, just wait a few seconds for the most accurate reading....i have used it for the liquid portion of bread already and it is very accurate. Just be sure when checking temperature, that the tip does not touch the pot or the container. because that will give you an inaccurate reading.

Yes. that is what I bought it for and I have tested it with appliances. I had a problem with the first unit in that the humidity sensor was 8% off compared to two other humidity sensors I had. They shipped a new one to replace at no expense or even having to ship the defective unit back.

Sorry I'm late on the response! You can set the humidity level right on top of the unit.. I leave mine at 45% because I have a damp basement that stays very cool but humid if I didn't answer the question you were asking please let me know thanks for asking my opinion Pete

as long as there's no large amount of moisture present. as this is not a sealed unit

If zero is the ambient temperature that should be the reading. Can't say I've tested it and not sure if it would read absolute zero. But when you first plug it in it is at the ambient temperature.

No it doesn't measure humidity level. There is a knob to control how much humidity it should generate that's it.

I don't know. It is set with numbers which I think starts at 125. I never needed precise temps for the veggies and fruits which is all I ever used it for.

The unit is rated to address moisture in a 1000 sq ft area. I would not expect it to function well past that point.It should work fine as long as you do not exceed operating parameters. This includes the size of the storage facility and air flow in said facility. If you use unit in an "drafty" area, you will negate function. But otherwise it should work well.

I used my meter to measure moisture in whole corn to determine if that was the issue with my corn furnace.It confirmed the percentage the supplier had claimed.

Yes, but not for extremes: Operating Temperature 0 - 40 C (32 - 104 F) Humidity Max. 85% non-condensing

Yes, you should be able to use this General Tool for what you need. I bought this moisture meter because I am a Home Inspector and Environmental. I am very happy with this moisture meter. Good luck.

No, it is a completely sealed unit. I'm not sure what you would want to adjust if it reads accurate temps, which it does. Any orifice on a compost thermometer would allow corrosive moisture inside the unit.

Charles,The unit has been a little disappointing, but not enough to return it. The humidity it measures is about 15% off, so I just compensate for that. If you set it for 60%, the compressor and fan will run until it reaches 57%, which seemed a bit odd to me. The unit does not measure temp, as was advertised. The fan does shut off once it has overachieved on the desired setting.
