Why fixed points are needed before a temperature scale is marked on a thermometer?

Generally two fixes points,Tof pure melting ice and T of steam of water boiling at one atomospheric pressure.are needed to build a standard degree of coldness and hotness. So that there will be a range of T to set the scale.

∙ 12y agoThe two fixed points will be known temperatures, the assumption is that temperature varies linearly between these two points therefore you can mark out the scale

What is the temperature needed to make vinyl records pliable?
The lowest temperature needed to make a vinyl record pliable is 130 degree Fahrenheit. This will allow the record to be pliable for a few seconds.
What temperature change is needed to change a liquid into a solid?

How many hour fasting before cbc?
There is no fasting needed for a CBC. If other blood tests are needed, you might need to fast for twelve hours before the test.

With what can you know your fish tank temperature?
The instrument that is needed to measure the temperature of the water is called an "Aquarium Thermometer".
What is needed to measure the temperature of an oven?
A thermostat or more carefully with a thermometer.
Why is it best to take temperature readings in the shade?
A thermometer is not kept in direct sunlight because the temperature needed to be recorded by the thermometer is of the air and not the rays of the sun.

Water,baking soda and a water thermometer.

a pressure gauge and a thermometer.
What are the functions of thermometer?
Usually, thermometers are used to measure temperature. Other usages: 1. A pendulum can be constructed from a thermometer attached to a light string by which approximate gravitational acceleration could be calculated. 2. By measuring time needed for a thermometer released from the top of a building to hit the ground, approximate height of that building could be obtained.
Why don't thermometers read down to -300 degrees Celsius?
Well, first of all, absolute zero, the point at which there is no thermal energy is at -273 degrees Celsius, so nothing could ever get to -300 C. Also, the mercury in the thermometer would freeze long before absolute zero, and it is unlikely that a standard thermometer would ever be used below its minimum measurement. If temperature measurement was needed below the minimum measurement of a thermometer, specialized scientific thermometers are available.
Why is it necessary to use special instruments to measure the temperature of the atmosphere in the thermosphere layer?
The thermosphere is the last layer of the atmosphere. Special instruments are needed to measure its temperature because there are very few particles in the thermosphere that would strike a conventional thermometer to heat it.
Why is a thermometer needed when separating crude oil?
Because different fractions separate at different temperatures.
Temperthure needel keeps going down?
More information is needed before this question can be answered. Is that "temperature"? Are you talking about the temperature gauge? And what is it on? A car? A refrigerator or freezer? The thermostat? The world outside?
Why does a stem in clinical thermometer have a small cross section area?
The small cross section of a clinical thermometer is there to reduce the amount needed of the toxic mercury to as little as possible. Mercury is less used nowadays, as breakages were likely due to the violent shaking needed to 'reset' the thermometer.
