How do thermometers should be labeled?
Because it is necessary to know the range of temperature, the accuracy, the recommended depth for immersion, the filling liquid, etc.
What are the relative advantages and disadvantages of thermocouple and thermometer and mercury thermometer?
Thermocouples can measure a wide range of temperatures however accuracy is a common limitation. Thermometers give consistent results however they may become decalibrated easily. Mercury thermometers are extremely accurate but they cannot be used at temperatures below negative 38 degrees Celsius.
What are strip thermometers?
the thermometers which are used to find your temperature
Different types of thermometers and their uses with pictures?
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.
What liquid used to be in thermometers?
Most thermometers used to contain Mercury until it was found to be toxic.
Why is it important to calibrate a bimetallic thermometer every day?
Accuracy is lost when thermometers are bumped or dropped.

Which instrument is often filled with mercury or colored water or alcohol?
Thermometers are the instrument that is often filled with mercury, colored water, or alcohol. Most early thermometers were made with mercury.
Why isn't a thermometer part of science?
Thermometers are tools used in science. For example it may be important to attain specific temperatures or record temperatures in a chemistry experiment. A physics experiment may deal with viscosities at different temperatures. Digital thermometers are slowly replacing older Mercury thermometers for many uses because of increased accuracy, and less risk of Mercury contamination.
Why are alcohol thermometers preferred in cold countries?
Mercury is used for determining higher temperature for its accuracy. Alcohol is used for measuring comparatively low temperature as it has a lower freezing point.
What different kinds of thermometers are there?
There are 34 different types of thermometer that range from alcohol thermometers and ear thermometers to medical thermometers and electrical resistance thermometers.
What substance is used inside most thermometer's?
Alcohol is most common in modern thermometers. Early thermometers used mercury, but these pose a possible health threat. Today, both are being replaced by electronic instruments.
What were Gabriel Fahrenheit's achievements?
Fahenreit was an early maker of thermometers so he had to develop a scale to mark the thermometers with. Water freezes at 32 degrees. The temperature of the human body is 98 degrees. Water boils at 212 degrees.
What where the first thermometers?
Mecury thermometers
How are mercury thermometers used today?
Mercury thermometers are rarely used, except in lab thermometers. For human use, they have been replaced by dyed alcohol glass thermometers, or electronic digital thermometers.
