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.

Who invented the maximum-minimum thermometer?

JAMES SIX invented the Maximum and Minimum thermometer in 1782.


What is the principle of maximum-minimum thermometers?

The advantage is the thermometer records a daily maximum and minimum temperature for reference. The disadvantage is the thermometer must be reset each day.


What liquids are found in a maximum and minimum thermometer?

A maximum thermometer typically contains mercury, which expands and contracts with temperature changes, allowing for precise measurements of high temperatures. In contrast, a minimum thermometer usually contains alcohol (often colored for visibility), which contracts more than mercury and can accurately indicate low temperatures. The design of both thermometers allows for the liquids to remain in place at the maximum or minimum temperature recorded until manually reset.


What are uses of 6s maximum minimum thermometer?

Six's maximum and minimum thermometer is a popularthermometer . Its purpose is to recordthe maximum and minimum temperatures reached since the thermometer was last read. Generally speaking a minimum temperatureoccurs during the night and amaximumduring the day.. It is interesting to note that Six's maximum and minimum thermometers were still being used in 2000 of exactly the samedesign and construction as ones produced over 100 years ago. Gardeners use max-min thermometers in the greenhouse and the garden to check minimum temperatures during the cold months when frost can be a problem and to check the maximum temperature during the daytime.Gardeners use max-min thermometers in the greenhouse and the garden to check minimum temperatures during the cold months when frost can be a problem and to check the maximum temperature during the daytime.

How do you reset a maximum and minimum thermometer with magnet?

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.

What is the application of a Six's thermometer?

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.

Explain the used of a maximum minimum thermometer is used?

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.
