There are several ways:
- use a liquid whose coefficient of thermal expansion is near constant,
- use a liquid with low vapour pressure,
- use a bulb with a relatively larger bulb and thinner stem,
- calibrate the thermometer carefully.

Which device has a liquid in glass components?
thermometer
How can we increase the responsiveness of thermometer?
One can make the bulb containing the liquid thinner to speed up reaction time.
Explain how a liquid thermometer measures temperature?
OK basically depending on what thermometer. the glass tube is filled with either alcohol or Mercury. and when it gets hotter, the liquid expands and takes up more space inside the tube. and colder.......the liquid compacts and moves down the tube.....and it's taken years to calabrate the markings on the tube to show the correct reading.
What is a thin glass tube with a bulb on one end that usually contains a liquid usually mercury or colored alcohol?
This could describe a thermometer. The only thing missing is the graduations. That way the height of the column can be associated with a specific temperature, the one that caused the column to be as high as it is.
What is it glass liquid called?
Liquid glass is sodium metasilicate, Na2SiO3. (Wikipedia)
What is a laboratory thermometer?
A laboratory thermometer is used to check the temperature, or changes in temperature, of an object with precise accuracy.
What is liquid-in-glass thermometer?
what do they use for the liquid in glass ball thermometer
How should you do to increase the accuracy of the thermometer?
using a thin capillary bore using a thick glass stem
Which device has a liquid in glass components?
thermometer
Why does liquid inside a thermometer rise as the temperature s increase?
Most materials expand with the temperature increases. In this case, the liquid in the thermometer expands faster than the glass that holds it.
Why are the thermometers called liquid in glass thermometers?
A so-called "glass" thermometer has a small bore-hole in the center of the glass that has some liquid in it. It's the activity of the liquid in the narrow hole that makes the thermometer a thermometer.
Which device has liquid in glass components?
thermometer
What are the materials in a thermometer?
For a classic thermometer: glass and mercury, colored ethanol or another liquid.
How does a liquid in a glass thermometer?

How does a glass thermometer works?
As the liquid in the thermometer is heated it expands, and the only way the expanding liquid can go is upward. As the liquid in the thermometer cools, it will contract, and the liquid will fall back down into the resevoir, causing the column of liquid to move downward.
Is there air in a glass thermometer?
Yes, above the mercury or the other liquid.
