Scientists all over the industrialised world have been using the CENTIGRADE temperature scale for more than 100 years. ALL scientists and laboratory technicians
use ONLY METRIC measurements
Centigrade is based upon ZERO degree- solid pure water (ICE) and 100 degree as the temperature of pure water BOILING at Sea level.
Note: In 1948 the CGPM (Conference General des Poids et Measures) standardized several units of measurement, including the temperature scale and determined that while Centigrade and Celsius were almost identical, Celsius was the more precise of the two. Since that time, the Celsius scale has been the scale of choice among scientists.

How does a bulb thermometer work?
A bulb thermometer contains a liquid that expands when heated and contracts when cooled. This causes the liquid to rise and fall within the tube, indicating the temperature. The temperature is then read off a scale on the tube to determine the measurement.
Where is most of the liquid in a thermometer?
Most of the liquid in a thermometer is typically found in the bulb at the bottom of the thermometer. This is where the temperature changes cause the liquid to expand or contract, moving up or down the tube to indicate the temperature.
Could the above thermometer be used to record the temperature of boiling water?
No, the above thermometer cannot be used to record the temperature of boiling water. Most household thermometers have a limited temperature range that does not typically extend to the boiling point of water, which is 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit). To measure the temperature of boiling water, a thermometer with a higher temperature range is required.
How is temperature measured at a weather station?
Temperature is typically measured at a weather station using a thermometer. The most common type is a liquid-in-glass thermometer that contains a liquid such as mercury or alcohol. The thermometer is placed in a sheltered area to protect it from direct sunlight or precipitation, and the temperature reading is typically recorded in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. Some weather stations now use electronic sensors to measure temperature instead of traditional thermometers.
what bubble in the Galileo thermometer is the temperature?
The Galileo thermometer is based on a thermoscope designed by Galileo Galilei. There are multiple bubbles filled with different colored liquids and tags that indicate temperature. They sink or rise when their density changes with the temperature of the water around them. The bubble that sinks the farthest is the most accurate temperature.
What is the temperature scale used on most laboratory thermometers?
Temperature scale used on most laboratory thermometers is a thermometer.
What is the temperature range of a laboratory thermometer in Fahrenheit scale?
The temperature range is different for each type of thermometer and use.As an example of possible range: from 15 0F to 220 0F.It is not recommended today to use this obsolete temperature scale.
What is temperature scale of most laboratory themometers?
Celsius.
Can you use laboratory thermometer to measure the temperature of room?
Yes, a laboratory thermometer can be used to measure the temperature of a room, as it is designed to provide accurate temperature readings. However, it may not be the most practical choice for room temperature measurement due to its sensitivity and the time it may take to stabilize. Typically, a simpler thermometer, such as a digital or mercury thermometer, is more commonly used for this purpose. Always ensure that the thermometer is placed away from direct sunlight or drafts for an accurate reading.
Which Swedish scientist invented the thermometer?
Swedish scientist Anders Celsius invented the Celsius scale of temperature. The first thermometer was invented by Galileo Galilei..but he most certainly wasn't Swedish.
What apparatus used to measure temperature?
A thermometer is the most common apparatus used to measure temperature. It typically contains a liquid such as mercury or alcohol that expands or contracts in response to temperature changes, allowing the user to read the temperature from a scale. More modern thermometers may use digital technology to provide temperature readings.
What piece of laboratory equipment would be most appropriate to measure hot water of 300 ml in the bath tub as it heats?
A thermometer would be the most appropriate laboratory equipment to measure the temperature of the hot water in the bathtub as it heats. It can give you an accurate reading of the water temperature as it warms up.
What measure household temperature?
Most commonly a thermometer.
What is the working principal of thermometer?
A thermometer works by measuring the amount of expansion or contraction of a fluid or material with changes in temperature. Most thermometers use mercury or alcohol to show temperature variations as the liquid rises or falls in a narrow tube with a calibrated scale. The expansion or contraction of the liquid is directly proportional to the temperature, allowing the thermometer to provide an accurate reading.
What is the scale used on most laboratory thermometers?
Yoogh
What type of thermometer is used by a scientist?
Science measurements use the metric system and the Celsius temperature scale is used for most measurements. The Kelvin scale is also used for measurements approaching absolute zero.
What is the most accurate method for calibrating bimetallic thermometer?
The most accurate method for calibrating a bimetallic thermometer is to use a high-precision reference thermometer to compare and adjust the readings of the bimetallic thermometer at various temperatures. This process involves immersing both thermometers in a stable temperature source and recording the differences in readings to make necessary adjustments to the bimetallic thermometer's scale. Calibration should be performed at multiple points across the temperature range of interest to ensure accuracy.
