What is a dual probe thermometer?
this is a thermometer that can work twice as much as a normal thermometer or a thermometer that can check the temperature of two things at the same time
What is the difference between a chocolate thermometer and a regular thermometer?
A chocolate thermometer and a regular thermometer differ from each other by its size and sturdiness. The chocolate thermometer are much bigger than the regular thermometer so that it can withstand the extreme heat. The normal thermometer can withstand less heat than the other one.
How can you use the words inquiry and thermometer in one sentence?
I did not understand the nurse's inquiry as to what I had done with the thermometer. Will an inquiry be necessary to find that thermometer? A silent thermometer has no inquiry.
Function of thermometer?
The function of a thermometer is to measure temperature.
Which device has a liquid in glass components?
thermometer
What mineral makes up a thermometer?
the red part in a thermometer is mercury.
What makes alcohol move inside a thermometer?
heat
How does a liquid in a glass thermometer?
the heat makes it expand you see
What is the function of a maverick thermometer?
Maverick Housewares is a company that makes various housewares, including thermometers. A Maverick Thermometer seems to refer to a digital cooking thermometer, most often with a wireless remote.
What is a sixes thermometer?
A Six's thermometer is a thermometer invented by James Six, which is capable of measuring the maximum and minimum temperatures during a given time. This makes it very useful for measuring extreme temperatures.
How does a liquid in glass thermometer work?
the heat makes it expand you see
How a liquid in glass thermometer works?
the heat makes it expand you see
What makes a greenhouse thermometer distinct from a regular thermometer?
Greenhouse thermometers typically include a humidity measurement which regular thermometers do not. Outdoor thermometers can also be used as they are stronger than a typical indoor thermometer.
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.
Explain how a deformation thermometer measures temperature?
IT measures it by the alcohol or mercury being touch by heat so the fluid rises.There is a chemical in the thermometer (the red liquid ) and it reacts to heat or coldness. cold makes it retract and the heat makes it expand * * * * * That is NOT a deformation thermometer but an expansion thermometer. A deformation thermometer has a bimetallic strip. This is a strip made by joining together two strips of metal with very different coefficients of thermal expansion. When heated, one of the metals expands much more than the other. But, because they are bonded together it is not permitted to expand freely and as a result the bimetallic strip is deformed. The amount of deformation is converted to a temperature scale for display.
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 is the boiling point of the thermometer?
The question to ask is: What is the boiling point of mercury (as mercury is the substance within a thermometer, unless of course you are referring to the material that makes up the thermometer itself).You can simply google that.But...it's 356.7° C
