Clinical thermometers have a small temperature range, typically between 35°C and 42°C (95°F to 107.6°F), because they are designed specifically to measure body temperature accurately. This narrow range ensures precision in detecting fevers and other health conditions without the risk of reading temperatures that are irrelevant to human health. Additionally, the materials used in these thermometers, such as Mercury or alcohol, limit their operational range to ensure safety and reliability for clinical use.

What is a Beckmann differential thermometer?
A sensitive thermometer with an adjustable range so that small differences in temperature can be measured.
What would the air temperature inside a small building be if it is in the sun and the outside temperature is 100 degrees?
Probably the same, for the equilibrium would take place sooner or later.
What is the use of laboratory thermometer?
As well known, thermometer is an instrument used to measure temperature. Thermo is referred to heat and -Meter is referred to the measuring instrument. The laboratory thermometer is normally mercury based as it expands at a steady rate and has a higher density than water's. This allow it take a small height to expand compare to water which is 13.6x more than the height of mercury when it expands as their density are 13600kgm/s for mercury and 1000kgm/s for water. Furthermore, the mercury used is not poisonous and therefore is safe to be used by students at school. Laboratory thermometer is used to measure low temperature which is between -10 degree Celsius to 120 degree Celsius. This is because in school laboratory, the experiments we conduct just within a small range of temperature around the room temperature., which is about 27-29 degree Celsius.
Do candles increase room temperature?
yes but only if u eat cheese first... in fact even more so if you have wine with your cheese. Realistically though I have heard that a small candle can increase the temperature of your car by 10 degrees when stranded in the cold. By that rationale I am certain that a dozen candles increases the temperature of my small bedroom on a cool day. Efficient? Probably not...
What do you need in order to prove the law of conservation of mass?
You need a closed system where matter and energy cannot escape. Because gas moves through small openings, rubber stoppers should be put in place, if the reaction has a high output of energy, then electrical thermometers should be added. If light is emitted, a photosensor should be used.
What are the uses of the digital thermometers?
They're thermometers..... So.... They do the exact same things as normal thermometers, except the temperature comes out on a small, digital screen. -.-
What is the normal temperature range for a small dog?
The normal temperature range for a small dog is between 100.5F and 102.5F.
What has the author Seppo Huovila written?
Seppo Huovila has written: 'Contribution to the measurement and interpretation of small-scale temperature fluctuations' -- subject(s): Thermometers and thermometry, Atmospheric temperature
Why can't water thermometers register at 4 celsius?
Around 4°C, the curve of volume vs. temperature is horizontal, meaning that for small changes in temperature, the volume will NOT change.
In the Arctic region the daily temperature range?
the daily temperature range is very small and is always extremely cold
Why doesn't mercury fall in thermometers?
Mercury doesn't fall in thermometers because it is sealed within a capillary tube along with a small amount of air. As the temperature changes, the mercury expands or contracts, moving up or down the tube to indicate the temperature. This design keeps the mercury contained and allows it to accurately measure temperature.
Does thermometer measure heat or temperature?
Different thermometers make use of different physical properties, that change with temperature - for example, volume, electrical resistance, and others. The basic household thermometer simply has a liquid - previously mercury, nowadays usually colored alcohol - that expands when it is heated.
Why is mercury is preferred in ordinary thermometers?
Mercury is preferred in ordinary thermometers because it expands and contracts uniformly with temperature changes, making it suitable for accurate temperature measurement. Additionally, mercury has a wide temperature range, staying liquid at typical outdoor temperatures and freezing at a low enough temperature to detect extreme cold. Finally, mercury is a good conductor of heat, allowing for quick response times in temperature readings.
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.
What is clinical thermometers?
A clinical thermometer, this type of thermometer is sensitive to very small changes in temperature but is able to measure temperatures only within a few degrees of normal body temperature (thirty seven degrees celsius).
What are three advantages and three disadvantages of gas thermometer?
Well, isn't that just a happy little question! Gas thermometers are great because they can measure a wide range of temperatures, they are very sensitive to small changes, and they are quite accurate. On the other hand, they can be fragile and easily break, they require regular calibration to maintain accuracy, and they can be affected by changes in atmospheric pressure. Just remember, every tool has its strengths and weaknesses, but with a little love and care, you can create beautiful temperature measurements.
Why is mercury used in clinical thermometer and not laboratory thermometer?
Mercury is no longer used much in thermometers due to the poisonous compounds that it forms. When I grew up, in Chemistry at school and at the doctors there were mercury thermometers and alcohol thermometers.
