Clinical thermometers, also known as medical thermometers, are used for measuring human body temperature. They have kinks at one end which prevent the fluid from flowing back before the readings have been taken. They offer accurate and easy-to-read recordings, in addition they are easy to clean, to carry around and to store.

∙ 8y agoA thermometer can help one ascertain the temperature of any given piece or substance of matter in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit; however, because the thermometer is a synthetic device, it will contain some (small) margin of error. Additionally, it is more difficult to obtain an accurate reading of temperature of an absolute solid when using a thermometer.

∙ 12y agoWe can't use clinical thermometer as a laboratory thermometer because in clinical thermometer the metal which is used is called Mercury but in laboratory thermometer alcohol is used which expands faster than the mercury. so in laboratory we need uniformity between the body and the thermometer's temperature to get the accurate reading.
