Difference between laboratory and clinical thermometer?
A clinical thermometer is used to measure a human body, and the laboratory thermometer is used to boil water and other lab uses.
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.
What is the bimetal mechanical thermometer?
The bimetal mechanical thermometer uses one end of a bimetallic coil connected to the housing of the device and the other end drives an indicating needle. The bimetal mechanical thermometer is often used in things like refrigerators, air conditioners and heat control.
What is a bimetallic thermometer?
A bimetallic thermometer uses a bimetallic strip wrapped into a coil. This strip usually consists of either steel and copper or steel and brass. A bimetallic thermometer is a type of thermometer made with a couple metal strips. They have differing thermal expansions that are brazen together. Any distortion in this apparatus caused by variations in the temperature is used to measure the temperature.
What is a constant volume gas thermometer?
A constant volume gas thermometer is a thermometer that uses the variations of pressure in gas at different temperatures to measure the temperature. A liquid can then be put into tubes, and rather than measuring the distance of a small quantity, the distance between two parts of the curving tube are used to measure the temperature.

Different kinds of thermometer and their uses?
Different types of thermometer and their uses 1. liquid-in-glass thermometer: weather recording and laboratory uses. (Temperature sensor: laboratory uses.<--this may not count as one of the thermometers XD ) 2. infra-red thermometer: measuring body temperature. 3. rotary thermometer: measuring the temperature of ovens and freezers. 4. resistance thermometer: measuring temperatures from -200 degree C to 1000 degree C, e.g. engines and ovens, etc. 5. thermistor thermometer: measuring the temperature of human body and electrical appliances. 6. liquid crystal thermometer: measuring the temperature of human body and fish tanks. ( the color of liquid crystal changes with temperature.)
