[time-nuts] temperature sensor

[Brooke Clarke]

Hi:

The temperature of steam can be anything above boiling water.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam

Super heating of steam was common railroad practice.

Boiling pure water will get rid of any trapped gases quickly.
In fact this is the recommended thing to do to tap water before using it for freshly cut roses.
Of course you need to let the water cool before putting them into it.  Removing the trapped oxygen makes them last longer.

Have Fun,

Brooke Clarke
