Each side is read at the bottom of the marker that has been pushed upward since the last reading. Don't read the colored fluid where it is at that time. That would only give you the current temperature.
The bottom of the maximum marker is at the highest point that it was pushed to at the warmest time since the last reset, and the base of the minimum marker is where the liquid reached at the coldest time.
The markers need to be reset at the same time each day with a magnet. Drag the markers back so they are both sitting on top of the silver Mercury near the bottom of the tube. Horizontal thermometers are reset by turning them to vertical.
To read a min max thermometer, look at the two separate scales for the minimum and maximum temperatures. The lowest temperature recorded will be displayed on the minimum scale, while the highest temperature recorded will be shown on the maximum scale. Reset the thermometer to start a new recording period.
JAMES SIX invented the Maximum and Minimum thermometer in 1782.
There's no thermometer shown here.
A thermometer is read by looking at the level where the liquid inside the tube stops rising. This level corresponds to the temperature measurement indicated on the scale of the thermometer. The temperature can be read in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit depending on the type of thermometer.
A thermometer.
To read a laboratory thermometer, look at the level of the liquid inside the thermometer that corresponds to the temperature. The temperature is usually indicated next to the liquid level in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. Make sure to read the thermometer at eye level and take note of the precise measurement.
principle of six's minimam & maximum thermometer
The thermometer should read 100 degrees Celsius when placed in boiling water at standard atmospheric pressure.
The thermometer is broken.Put the thermometer under your tongue.
There is no special name for a maximum-minimum thermometer. It generally consists of two scales one will push a slider up as the temperature increases and the other thermometer pushes a slider down as the temperature goes down. You read it by observing the position of the sliders and then reset it so that the sliders return to the current temperature.
simply
A Six's thermometer is typically used in meteorology to measure the minimum and maximum temperatures over a period of time. It consists of two mercury columns that are moved by the mercury in the thermometer to indicate the highest and lowest temperatures reached.
