Why does a mercury-in-glass laboratory thermometer have a narrow capillary bore?
To increase the sensitivity of the thermometer, that is, for the thermometer to respond quickly to small changes in temperature.
How do you increase the range of a thermometer?
If you're the one designing the thermometer, you could make it longer or make the bore wider. If you've got an existing thermometer, there's not much you can do.
The function of a Mercury thermometer?
to tell old people that have a mercury thermometer what the temperature is
Why are the thermometers called liquid in glass thermometers?
A so-called "glass" thermometer has a small bore-hole in the center of the glass that has some liquid in it. It's the activity of the liquid in the narrow hole that makes the thermometer a thermometer.
What change takes place in the liquid inside a thermometer when it is placed into somthing cold?
The liquid inside the thermometer "contracts" when it is placed into something cold. This means that it decreases in volume and increases in density. This is the reason that the thermometer can measure heat: the volume of the liquid inside the thermometer changes as a function of heat, and the amount of liquid in the "tube" of the thermometer changes as a function of volume. Because of this relationship, the level of the liquid in the tube of the thermometer changes as a function of heat.
What is a thermometer bore?
A bore refers to the extremely fine or narrow tube found in a thermometer. It is called a narrow bore or a capillary.
Function of thermometer?
The function of a thermometer is to measure temperature.

The capillary tubing has a uniform bore in a mercury thermometer?
yes ! to insure linearity
The function of a Mercury thermometer?
to tell old people that have a mercury thermometer what the temperature is
What is the function of the laboratory thermometer?
A Thermometer is a Laboratory Equipment that measures temperature.

What is the function of cylinder gauge?
To measure bore taper
What is the function of thermometer in laboratory?
A thermometer is used for measuring accurate temperatures. Also using the degrees Fahrenheit and Celsius.
How should you do to increase the accuracy of the thermometer?
using a thin capillary bore using a thick glass stem
