Each side is read at the bottom of the marker that has been pushed upward since the last reading. Don't read the colored fluid where it is at that time. That would only give you the current temperature.
The bottom of the maximum marker is at the highest point that it was pushed to at the warmest time since the last reset, and the base of the minimum marker is where the liquid reached at the coldest time.
The markers need to be reset at the same time each day with a magnet. Drag the markers back so they are both sitting on top of the silver Mercury near the bottom of the tube. Horizontal thermometers are reset by turning them to vertical.
JAMES SIX invented the Maximum and Minimum thermometer in 1782.
To read a min max thermometer, look at the two separate scales for the minimum and maximum temperatures. The lowest temperature recorded will be displayed on the minimum scale, while the highest temperature recorded will be shown on the maximum scale. Reset the thermometer to start a new recording period.
principle of six's minimam & maximum thermometer
simply
To reset a maximum and minimum thermometer with a magnet, hold the magnet close to the reset button. Move the magnet around the button in a circular motion to clear the previous maximum and minimum readings. Once the display is clear, remove the magnet and the thermometer will be reset.
Use a maximum-minimum thermometer.
A minimum and maximum thermometer typically consists of a glass tube containing a liquid, usually alcohol or mercury, with two scale indicators. The minimum thermometer features a constriction that allows the liquid to retreat, leaving a mark at the lowest temperature reached, while the maximum thermometer has a small bulb that traps the liquid at the highest temperature. The scale is marked along the length of the tube, allowing easy reading of both minimum and maximum temperatures. The thermometer is often enclosed in a protective casing or mounted horizontally for outdoor use.
A Six's thermometer is typically used in meteorology to measure the minimum and maximum temperatures over a period of time. It consists of two mercury columns that are moved by the mercury in the thermometer to indicate the highest and lowest temperatures reached.
its a simple answer........................................................................... thermometer se. hahahahahahahahahah
The minimum, maximum, and current temperature.
A maximum minimum thermometer is used to measure the highest and lowest temperatures reached during a specific period. It contains two separate indicators that show the highest temperature reached (maximum) as well as the lowest temperature (minimum). This type of thermometer is useful for tracking temperature variations over time.
There is no special name for a maximum-minimum thermometer. It generally consists of two scales one will push a slider up as the temperature increases and the other thermometer pushes a slider down as the temperature goes down. You read it by observing the position of the sliders and then reset it so that the sliders return to the current temperature.
