There are a number of different types of thermometers, but all have two basic elements. First, they must have a temperature sensor (Mercury, dissimilar metals, etc.) capable of detecting a change of temperature. Second, they must have a means (such as a scale) of measuring the degree of change.
Also there's a bulb isn't there? So there are: bulb, scale, colored alcohol (or w.e).
What else can I help you with?
Why is it inappropriate to stir a liquid with a thermometer?
Because that will mess with the temperature reading on the thermometer. And it would be dangerous if the thermometer is broken as there are dangerous chemicals (i.e.mercury) inside.
What is the purpose of a Thermometer ring stand holder?
Thermometer holder is a tool to hold the thermometer for taking the different reading of the body,liquid, or mass. So this holder helps to hold the thermometer,this holder is made up of such material(cork) so it does not effect the temperature of thermometer.
What does it mean if the red dye is separated in a thermometer?
If the red dye in a thermometer is separated, it likely means that the thermometer has been exposed to extreme temperatures or has been mishandled, causing the dye to separate from the liquid inside. This can affect the accuracy of the thermometer readings and may require replacing the thermometer.
You are trying to calibrate a celsius thermometer. when you place the thermometer into a beaker of boiling water what should the thermometer read?
The thermometer should read 100 degrees Celsius when placed in boiling water at standard atmospheric pressure.
What is thermometer clamp?
The clamp holds the thermometer up right at the right hight. the bottom of the thermometer shouldn't be touching the bottom of the beaker or what ever it is. make sure the clamp his holding the very top of the thermometer so you can see the numbers.
What are two parts of psychrometer?
The two parts of a psychrometer is the dry-bulb thermometer and the wet-bulb thermometer.
What are the parts to a laboratory thermometer?
its food
What main parts are to make a psychrometer?
A psychrometer consists of two thermometers: a dry-bulb thermometer and a wet-bulb thermometer. It also uses a wick or cloth that is moistened with distilled water to acquire readings. These components work together to measure relative humidity in the air.
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.
Which parts of body temperature can be taken?
under the tongue, armpit, rectum, ear(with a tempanic thermometer)
What are the types of thermometer?
Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin.
How do you Dispose of digital thermometer?
To dispose of a digital thermometer, remove the battery and recycle it separately according to local guidelines. Place the remaining parts of the thermometer in the trash, unless your area has specific electronic recycling programs. Be sure to follow any specific disposal instructions provided by the manufacturer.
What are the two main parts of a psychometer?
The two main parts of a psychrometer are the dry bulb thermometer, which measures the ambient temperature, and the wet bulb thermometer, which measures the wet bulb temperature after being exposed to a wet wick. These values are used to calculate the relative humidity and dew point.
Origin of the word thermometer?
Thermometer
What are the pats of a thermometer?
The main parts of a thermometer include the bulb (which holds the mercury or sensor), the stem (which displays the temperature readings), and the scale or markings (to indicate the temperature). Accessories may include a clip or case for attachment and storage.
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.
How can you measure a body temperature?
What kind of thermometer you use to measure the body temperature
