A mercury thermometer can go down to -30 deg C
The sensor in a mercury-in-glass thermometer is the glass bulb at the base of the thermometer containing the mercury. The temperature is measured by the expansion or contraction of the mercury based on the surrounding temperature, allowing the thermometer to provide a temperature reading.
Mercury - the God of trade, the planet, and a thermometer.
i like mercury because it is inside a thermometer
The kink in a mercury or alcohol clinical thermometer helps to prevent the mercury or alcohol from flowing back into the bulb once the thermometer is removed from a patient's body. This ensures that the maximum temperature reached during measurement is retained for reading.
A mercury thermometer is used to measure temperature.
Mercury and alcohol
Mercury rises in a thermometer when the temperature increases because mercury expands as it heats up. This expansion of the mercury column inside the thermometer is used to measure the temperature of the surrounding environment.

mercury
toxic poison
The liquid in a clinical thermometer is called mercury. It is used to measure body temperature by expanding and rising within the thermometer.
In a mercury thermometer, the mercury expands when it is heated, causing it to rise in the thermometer's narrow tube. This increase in volume is a physical property of mercury known as thermal expansion. The height of the mercury column in the thermometer is then used to measure the temperature.
Mercury in a Mercury thermometer is typically silver in color.

iodine and Mercury
It could be used to do this - it is capable of doing it. However, Mercury is poisonous and a mercury thermometer is made out of fragile glass. Thus the danger that the thermometer would break releasing mercury into the milk (which would be for a person to drink) means that a mercury thermomiter is not the temperature sensor to use in this instance.
