You should not leave a meat thermometer in the turkey while it cooks. This is very dangerous and should be avoided.
-- Bring thermometer into room. -- Wave it around in the air of the room for a minute or two. -- Do not hold the thermometer in your hand or breathe on it. -- Wait a while for the room temperature to get through the thermometer glass. -- Look through the glass at the sliver of liquid inside the thermometer. Find the end of the liquid, and see what number is marked on the glass at the same level. That number is your room temperature.
A Galileo thermometer is a thermometer made of a sealed glass cylinder containing a clear liquid and a series of objects whose densities are such that they rise or fall as the temperature changes.
Precautions need to be taken while using clinical thermometer are: _ Wash the thermometer after and before using it._* _ Make sure the temperature of the thermometer is below 35 C before taking the temperature._* _ Keep the thermometer straight in the order to see the Mercury level precisely._*
the mercury should be at normal body temperature level before using it the thermometer should be cleaned after use with normal water the bulb of the thermometer should not be touched
To measure the temperature of cold water, a digital thermometer or a glass mercury thermometer can be used. Digital thermometers provide quick and accurate readings, while glass thermometers are traditional and can be very precise, though they may take longer to stabilize. For best results, ensure the thermometer is fully submerged in the water without touching the sides of the container.
The best way to measure temperature while riding a bike using a thermometer is to attach the thermometer to the bike's handlebars or frame in a shaded area away from direct sunlight and wind. This will provide a more accurate reading of the ambient temperature.
A bulb thermometer uses a liquid (usually mercury) inside a glass tube to measure temperature, while an electronic thermometer uses a sensor to detect temperature changes and provides a digital readout. Bulb thermometers are being phased out due to safety concerns with mercury, while electronic thermometers are more accurate and convenient to use.
The thermometer should be kept upright not tilted. 2.) The bulb of the thermometer should be surrounded from all sides by the substance of which the temperature is to be measured. 3.) The bulb should no touch the surface of the container.
Some people want to measure temperature in deg C while others prefer deg F. A dual scale thermometer will allow people to do what they prefer, but using only one thermometer.
Guess: To keep the kid from turning over (so as not to damage the tissues with the glass instrument).
Rectal temperatures really aren't used that much in health care anymore because it's too invasive, and in infants inserting a rectal thermometer can damage the mucosa of the rectum. While it is the most accurate temperature, it's much better to use an oral thermometer, or one of the new temporal ones that simply go on the forehead. Also you said it was a glass thermometer, I'd be careful if it was very old because it could have mercury in it, in which case you need to dispose of it following your towns guidelines since it could break and cause a mercury spill which is never good.
