Can this thermometer get the temperature in a dryer?

No it cannot. The IR gun only takes a surface reading. A sheet of glass is opaque in the infrared range of light (look up what a window looks like through a FLIR Camera). The laser pointer can penetrate the glass but that is working in a different range of light. In general a drier will have two layers of acrylic or glass that trap a layer of air inside, acting as an insulator. This will further hamper efforts to read the temperature inside.-JamieEngineering Field Technician

I doubt it. The wavelength of the sensor is 8-14 microns and plexiglass has very low transmittance beyond about 3 microns (according to this spec sheet http://www.plexiglas.com/export/sites/plexiglas/.content/medias/downloads/sheet-docs/plexiglas-general-information-and-physical-properties.pdf). Whether or not the material your dryer door is made of is the same is another matter. If the transmittance is close to zero then you will essentially be measuring the temperature of the outside of the door.

Wow cool question. I have a dryer with clear plastic door, the thermometer read the outside surface of the plastic door. I could see the red dot on the door and shooting through the door to the back of the dryer drum yet as the dryer heated up the temp stayed constant/ I then opened the door and tested and the drum was a full 20 degrees higher . So the answer is Yes it can read a dryer But not the inside until you open the door. hope that helps

Yes there is a timer up to 60 minutes. The temperature goes from cool to 75c. This is a good dryer. I have used it several times. Feel free to ask as many questions as u wish.

I have never tried calibrating it with a thermometer close by but it seems to work well cycling my electric heaters on the ceiling. I have two of them and they they both work fine. Would buy them again.

Certainly. It will read the surrounding temperature -- in air, in water, in bread or wherever else. The one I have is quite accurate. It reads 212 degrees F in boiling distilled water at about a sea level elevation.

Yes! It will detect any change in the temperature of a surface either hot or cold. I really do love this produce, it works great!

As far as I can determine, no. I really like the dryer...works as well if not better than my last one that cost twice as much! Plus the company that mailed it to me appears to be user friendly.

Sorry to say, I have not seen a shift in the readings due to temperature. The unit is hand held, so if it has a temperature sensor that is part of the unit, it is buried in the body of the unit. Suggest you contact the OEM about this question. Sorry again, but all I am worried about is- is the wood dry enough to start working. In my case, the moisture just needs to be low... not mid or high.

I don't think so, but I have not tried it. It is to measure surface temperature. If you point it at the interior wall, it will measure that temperature, but not air temperature or working temperature.

No, Masteck 8268 does not measure temperature, but Masteck 8217 does and amazon sells it too: click here:Mastech Auto-Range Digital Multimeter with Temperature Measurement, MS8217

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.

Yes. I bought this and 100-300 degree thermometer to upgrade my masterbuilt smoker. Works better than new. The cord comes out of the opposite side of this unit, fyi.

Yes it can. You have to know the size pipe coming in to the house. Dryer may pull gas away from the grill. A heating Men can calculate that 4 U

Yes, but in order to get an accurate reading you have to really "jam" the thermometer into the ear. Sometimes My baby was hot and the thermometer would read a low temperature.

It will only measure surface temp. I use it to measure the temperature of milk for cheese making and I have to stir it really well before I measure to get an accurate reading.

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.

I've never tried but I would assume not. I believe it's only meant to measure air temperature.

No. Sounds like the timer switch. More expensive. The 2 thermostats control the heat and extreme temps. The timer on an older dryer is the main knob that you turn to select what type of load you have and how much time.
