1. Liquid Thermometer 2. Bimetallic Thermometer
There are 34 different types of thermometer that range from alcohol thermometers and ear thermometers to medical thermometers and electrical resistance thermometers.
Different types of thermometers.
Thermometers today are typically made of glass, plastic, or metal. They contain a temperature-sensitive element, such as mercury or alcohol, that expands or contracts with temperature changes, causing the level to rise or fall in the measuring column. Digital thermometers are also common, using electronic sensors to measure temperature.
1. Clinical Thermometer 2. Laboratory Thermometer 3.
Using different types of thermometers, thermocouples, thermal resistances, pyrometers, etc.
There are several types of thermometers. Clinical thermometers are used to measure the body temperature of the patient. Ear Thermometers make it an accurate point to measure the body temperature. Pacifier thermometers are used to check the body temperature of babies or infants. Underarm thermometers are kept in the underarms to measure the body temperature. Not to mention the food thermometers that are often used for checking the heat of the oil or pop up to let you know when the meat is done.
For example pyrometers for very high temperatures.
16 types of thermometers (:
Three different types of thermometers are :- 1. Liquid thermometer 2. Digital thermometer 3. Laser thermometer
The two types of thermometers are the total immersion and partial immersion thermometers. However, they both read temperature the same way!
Mercury has recently been removed from almost all thermometers because the risk of breaking the thermometers and spillage of the harmful liquid.
Laser thermometers are used to measure the surface temperature of an object. These types of thermometers come in handy when an object is very large or too far away.
