It is analogue as it can have more than one value unlike digital which has two main values which are 1 or 0.

Analog way. Unless you have a digital thermometer


Is a clinical thermometer a type of analog thermometer?

If its a digital readout, no, because it has a limited number of readings, whereas a analogue (liquid ) thermometer has a (theoreticallly) unlimited number of readings.


Is a thermometer analog or digital?

Some thermometers any meter varies. Both then


Is a mercury thermometer an example of an analog or digital sensor?

analogue, since it doesn't use electronics


Why do you rotate the stem of the clinical thermometer when you read the thermometer?

If it is an analog thermometer, the face of the thermometer is shaped in a way that magnifies the readout, but it has a very narrow angle of visibility. Once rotated to the proper angle, the once thin line becomes a thick, easy to read line.


What is an analogue meter?

An analog meter is a device which represents the value of a measurement by a point or similar indicator. A digital meter indicates the measure by actual displaying the number representing the value. For example, an analog thermometer shows a temperature.


Is the best type of meat thermometer digital or analog?

Both are perfectly acceptable. A digital thermometer may measure to a tenth of a degree, but this is of no importance when cooking meat. What matters is that the meat gets to the necessary USDA-recommended internal temperature, and for this an accuracy of only a few degress is required. The only exception to this would be an analog thermometer that can be left in the meat during cooking, because the electronics and cases of digital thermometers can't take the heat.


Are all instant read meat thermometer devices digital?

Instant read meat thermometers are always digital. The other syle of meat thermometer is analog and it takes time to reach the temperature reading after insertion into the meat.

Mercury thermometer analog or digital device?

The traditional mercury thermometer has the mercury in a narrow glass tube with the readings/markings etched into the glass so it is neither analogue nor digital. I thought it was analogue.


What is analog meter?

An analog meter is a device which represents the value of a measurement by a point or similar indicator. A digital meter indicates the measure by actual displaying the number representing the value. For example, an analog thermometer shows a temperature of 25 degrees by pointing halfway between the 20 and 30 while a digital one displays the digits of the number 25.


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.
