What is a rotary thermometer?

A rotary thermometer is a type of thermometer that uses a metal coil or bimetallic strip to measure temperature. The coil or strip expands or contracts with changes in temperature, causing the pointer on the dial to move. This movement indicates the temperature on the scale displayed on the dial. Rotary thermometers are commonly used in industrial applications and in cooking to measure high temperatures.


How do you tell how hot or cold something is?

use a thermometer.We can feel how hot or cold something is. However, sometimes things are just too hot or cold for us to feel safely. At other times we need to know exactly how hot or cold something is. When we need to measure temperature correctly we need to use an instrument called a thermometer. This measures temperature in degrees Celsius [sometimes called centigrade] or degrees Fahrenheit. There are different types of thermometers for different situations. A medical thermometer, for example, needs to be very accurate. It measures in fractions of degrees. When we are ill, even tiny changes in temperature are important. Some thermometers use a liquid that moves up a very fine glass tube. Most room thermometers, and outdoor thermometers are like this. The liquid is either mercury [ which is poisonous] or coloured alcohol. As liquids get warmer they expand [get bigger], and move up the tube. Water expands too, but not as much as alcohol and mercury. Thermometers that might be used by small children are not made of glass. They use a digital display which lights up the temperature. Inside the displays are chemicals that change colour according to the temperature.


How does alcohol in a thermometer work?

Alcohol in a thermometer expands when heated and contracts when cooled. This change in volume causes the level of alcohol in the thermometer to rise or fall. By measuring the level of the alcohol, the temperature of the substance being measured can be determined.


How do rotary thermometers work?

Rotary thermometers work by utilizing a bimetallic coil that expands or contracts in response to changes in temperature. This coil is connected to a pointer, which moves along a calibrated scale to indicate the temperature. As the coil expands or contracts, it rotates the pointer to provide a temperature reading.


Could a thermometer work at 115 degrees?

Most common thermometers can measure temperatures up to 120-130 degrees Fahrenheit, so a thermometer should be able to work at 115 degrees Fahrenheit. However, it's always best to check the specifications of the thermometer to ensure it can accurately measure temperatures at 115 degrees.
