The steam point is not as commonly used as the ice point, but it provides a good method to verify thermometers at a second temperature. In this method, you create steam by boiling water in a beaker. As the steam rises, it will condense on a thermometer that is colder than the boiling point of the water. Insert the calibrated and test thermometers so that the tips of the probes are 10 cm to 15 cm (approximately 4 in. to 6 in.) below the surface of the water. ( 2 If a thermometer probe is very short, immerse the probe as deeply as you can without getting water in the wiring.). 3  Wait 5 min.
