What is the temperature range for the probes, and can they be immersed in liquid?

Temp ranges vary with manufacturers but the range is sufficient for hvac work and yes u can put them in water.

The probe is as pictured. I found if you put shrink wrap at the connection of the probe and wire it will last longer. If the smallest amt of water gets in that connection it will not work

depth in as much as there is a screw,,, temp no,,, but the probe is only 3.5 inchs long not 6 inch,, did`nt work for me ..

you may want to silicon the probe only to the tank. You shouldn't get the terminal between the probe and the cable wet. You can set the thermostat to warm temps as well as cold

These probes are usually of a bi-metal function and should be pretty linear at the temperatures that you want. I checked mine with a candy thermometer and it was right on at 124F. and my soil tempt. was 42F at 4 inches. The probe can not be introduced and extracted by the gauge- it will separate with misuse. Yes it should work fine if the soil is soft enough. and the depth isn't much more the 4-6 inches.

They say "do not submerge the probe" in the directions. You can call them up on the phone, they are easy to talk to. They might have another idea for you. I had to replace my probe because I got it too hot on the grill. $12.00, and I am off and running again. I like it so much, I bought several for Christmas gifts.

No. I glued the probe to the inside of an aluminum cigar tube and tried to waterproof that. You can also look for a stainless steel temperature probe that is linear and use the built in temperature offset

I would like to use these to experiment generating electricity. What temperatures do they handle? Thank you

I would say "no" that it is not meant to be immersed in water. I suggest for that, you look for a "pool" type thermometer instead. I hope this helps.

While I do use this probe to monitor water temp, I don't fully immerse it, as the wire behind the metal portion of the probe is covered in plastic & I don't want it to melt. If I use it to monitor other food temperatures, just wipe off the metal part of the probe & don't let the plastic touch anything hot, like pots, pans, etc. Shorter answer: I don't know & haven't tried to find out.

I do not have a specific temperature, but I have used these with success when handling my hot rotisserie spit without issue.

It is possible to leave them there, but the probe wire is only silicon and I am not sure it would last. The one I bought lasted only a couple of months and I was only immersing it in hot water.

That may be a question for Oregon Scientific. The probe is designed to withstand heat. Boiling oil sounds extreme. Maybe a timer (which it has) and a little trial and error would work.

I'm not sure what their official stance would be, but I would say "yes." The probe they package with the ChefAlarm is rated to 572°F, and short-term exposure all the way up to 700°F. I've certainly never had any issues with probe failures that seemed to be secondary to heat (at least, not with ThermoWorks probes). Having said that, I usually recommend purchasing a second replacement probe just in case; repeated kinking at high temps *can* cause issues even with the best probes, and it can be really annoying to be stuck without a usable probe at the wrong moment.

I have not used this probe in boiling water. This would be a question for the manufacturer, www.taylorusa.com/kitchen/thermometersConsumer Help & Support 1-866-843-3905. Good Luck!

The probe is very accurate. I think the probe is unique to this unit, but any 2 wire probe should work with it. Don't forget the temp on this unit is only in Celsius.

I don't think there would be any problem with using the solid probe (which is about 7" long) in a high temp. The system registers up to 480 degrees.
