Hey folks are these only good for liquid reading or can they be used for inline hvac monitoring?

With the addition of proper electronics they appear to be usable anywhere stainless steel won't be compromised. I'm not sure what you mean by "inline", but they will work in a air duct or clamped to a pipe.

I am currently using it to test my coils and it does work to a reasonable level. It will definitely will tell u if your coil is safe and the rough resistance, but I would not consider it precise enough for the serious vapor.

They are Dry. You will need to purchase a liquid sensor cleaner. I recommend Eclipse optic cleaning fluid. Good Luck

I only use my 2 channel (only 1 probe operates at a time) for HVAC measurments. I do not use the probes that came with the unit because ther were only the wire type. It works great. Best of luck, For Clothes dryers I use a laser type to measure the temp.

A big problem is that one has no idea what the temperature and pressure actually is. There is no read out of either. You have to take is on faith and that is not worth the risk. Get a GoWISE it has a real time pressure readout.

I honestly do not know as we use ours to monitor the pantry and attic temps, also have another one that monitors the basement temp and garage temps. These are really handy little gadgets!! Hope this helps somewhat. Pat Pratt

I've used one in an insulated garage workshop for 12 hours at a time over the course of that last two winters. I have two carbon monoxide detectors installed for this reason, and to date neither have registered a reading on their digital display. A couple years ago I used two in the house when we lost power for a week and never had a problem.

A 12vdc LED light tape would draw very little current, probably not enough to get a reading on this device. An appropriate tool would be a digital multimeter. HarborFreight has them on special often at $4.00. Knowing how to use it requires a bit of education. Look online or at your local library for "Using your VOM" or "Using your digital multimeter".

Yes you can, I use it primarily for this and it works very well. It takes less than 8 seconds to get a stable reading.

Highly doubtful, used by Heating and cooling people more so to check air tempatures. Electrician rarely has to check the tempature of anything. Hope this helps.

These are great as long as you don't run a sub ohm build, anything below . 3 I wouldn't use then

They are hybrid probes, as mentioned in the description. You can use one or both to monitor the smoker chamber temp.

yes.just be sure not to plunge it into the liquid.jjust the tip is enough to get a reading.

hmmm. i didn't realize it was for ghost hungint???? i use it to measure emf emissions and i love it. you move it around the appliance and it will show the emf emissions. i had one that was a lot more expensive and technical showing exact measurement but it was awkward and difficult to use imo. i like this one because it's simple and gives me te info i need. you point and push the on button and get the reading. i love it. !

Yes. Theyre not specific to residential or commercial. It all depends on what refrigerant and/or type system your using.

Probably...the difficulty is going to be getting the sensor to be able to read something that is not static....but, will give you a general idea of the temperature, I think.

Probably not. They are rated for certain refrigerants. If you exceed the Psi rating you would damage or break the guages. Buy ones that are specific for your needs.
