How is the Celsius scale calibrated?
Generally thermometers are calibrated two ways . primary calibration or Secondary calibration. In secondary calibration , two thermometers are kept side by side under same conditions and identify the difference with respect to one thermometer. In primary calibration , thermometer that to be calibrated is placed in a ice cubes made of pure distilled water . Now pour some distilled water and stirr well . Now place thermometer inside that mixture This will give the Melting point temperature of pure water 0 degree centigrade. Now see the reading on thermometer and adjust reading. This way of calibrating a thermometer is accurate enough form most applications.
How often should a thermometer be calibrated?
Every 4 Years Every 4 Years
Does Alcohol and mercury thermometer measure the same temperature at 60 degrees?
Yes. If they're good quality and accurately calibrated, they do. If two thermometers in the same place under the same conditions don't read the same number, then at least one of them is wrong.
What are strip thermometers?
the thermometers which are used to find your temperature
How often are thermometers supposed to be calibrated?
Manufacturers recommend calibration intervals. Follow their recommendation. In practical terms, recalibration may be required sooner if the instrument is heavily used, used in many and diverse locations regularly or if it sustains damage. Knowledgeable users know when unusual results occur and get their instrument repaired and/or calibrated. There is another process that helps ensure accurate results and reduces cost and loss of use - compare your meter's performance with that of a recently calibrated unit in a side-by-side test. This does not re-certify a meter but it does reduce the likelihood of using an out-of-spec meter and having to re-survey a site.
What are thermometers measured in?
Thermometers may be calibrated in degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius.
For thermometers to read temperature correctly they must be?
Calibrated
what is data logger?
Temperature is measured with thermometers that may be calibrated to a variety of temperature scales
How are homemade thermometers different from commercial versions?
The homemade ones have not been calibrated while the commerical ones have been.
Can use medical electronic thermometer to measure air temperature?
Most medical electronic thermometers are not calibrated to measure ambient temperatures.
Why are thermometers calibrated?
So that you know that they show the true value, and that the results collected with one thermometer can be compared with the result collected from another thermometer.
Why is it necessary to calibrate a thermometer and volumetric?
In order to get a more precise and accurate reading.
Did Obama use the word calibrated correctly in his statement I should have calibrated my words better?
"Calibrate" typically refers to adjusting machinery.
How often should a mercury sphygmomanometer be calibrated?
every month

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.
Why is Mercury good in thermometers?
Mercury expands when heated, and the rate at which it expands can be calibrated in a thermometer to fit to a scale, which you see as the markings in the thermometer. We use mercury because of its ability to expand with just a little amount of heat. Because mercury is poisonous, we now use alcohol thermometers. Alcohol is just as good as mercury because it expands when heat is applied to it as well.
