To use a glass thermometer effectively for measuring temperature, first shake it down to below room temperature. Then place the thermometer in the substance being measured for a few minutes to allow the Mercury to reach equilibrium with the temperature of the substance. Read the temperature at eye level and record the measurement. Be careful not to break the thermometer or expose it to extreme temperatures.

What is a mercury filled glass tube that measures air temperature called?
A mercury-filled glass tube that measures air temperature is called a mercury thermometer.
What is the function and design of a thermometer?
A thermometer is a measuring device used to determine temperature. It typically consists of a temperature sensor, such as a mercury-filled glass tube or a digital sensor, and a scale for measuring temperature values. The design aims to accurately reflect changes in temperature to provide users with a precise reading.
What is liquid-in-glass thermometer?
A liquid-in-glass thermometer is a type of thermometer that consists of a glass tube filled with a liquid, typically mercury or alcohol, which expands or contracts with changes in temperature. The level of the liquid in the tube corresponds to the temperature, allowing for temperature measurement.
What is a glass bulb of a thermometer?
A glass bulb of a thermometer is the part at the bottom of the thermometer that contains mercury or colored alcohol that expands and contracts with temperature changes. This expansion and contraction of the liquid is what causes the thermometer to measure and display the temperature.
Why is the stem of a thermometer designed as a magnifying glass?
The stem of a thermometer is not designed as a magnifying glass. The stem of a thermometer is typically narrow to allow for more accurate temperature readings, as it reduces the amount of time it takes for the reading to stabilize. The magnifying glass may be used for easier reading of the temperature scale on the thermometer.
Different kinds of thermometer and their uses?
Different types of thermometer and their uses 1. liquid-in-glass thermometer: weather recording and laboratory uses. (Temperature sensor: laboratory uses.<--this may not count as one of the thermometers XD ) 2. infra-red thermometer: measuring body temperature. 3. rotary thermometer: measuring the temperature of ovens and freezers. 4. resistance thermometer: measuring temperatures from -200 degree C to 1000 degree C, e.g. engines and ovens, etc. 5. thermistor thermometer: measuring the temperature of human body and electrical appliances. 6. liquid crystal thermometer: measuring the temperature of human body and fish tanks. ( the color of liquid crystal changes with temperature.)

A is a thin glass tube with a bulb on the one end that contains liquid usually mercury or colored alcohol?
A is a thermometer used for measuring temperature, typically with mercury or colored alcohol as the measuring fluid. The liquid expands or contracts based on temperature changes, providing a reading on the scale of the thermometer.
What is meant by the statement a thermometer measures its own temperature?
When a thermometer reaches thermal equilibrium, the temperature of the thermometer and the substance it is measuring are the same. Therefore, the thermometer is essentially measuring its own temperature.
What is a thin glass tube with bulb on one end that contains a liquid?
Thermometer. They contain Mercury which is a metal.
What is liquid-in-glass thermometer?
A liquid-in-glass thermometer is a type of thermometer that consists of a glass tube filled with a liquid, typically mercury or alcohol, which expands or contracts with changes in temperature. The level of the liquid in the tube corresponds to the temperature, allowing for temperature measurement.
What is the sSensor in Mercury-in-glass thermometer?
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.
What is a glass bulb of a thermometer?
A glass bulb of a thermometer is the part at the bottom of the thermometer that contains mercury or colored alcohol that expands and contracts with temperature changes. This expansion and contraction of the liquid is what causes the thermometer to measure and display the temperature.
What is the measuring tools for temperature?
You can measure temperature using a thermometer.Hope this helped you xxxH x
How do you measure room temperature using thermometer?
-- Bring thermometer into room. -- Wave it around in the air of the room for a minute or two. -- Do not hold the thermometer in your hand or breathe on it. -- Wait a while for the room temperature to get through the thermometer glass. -- Look through the glass at the sliver of liquid inside the thermometer. Find the end of the liquid, and see what number is marked on the glass at the same level. That number is your room temperature.
What is a laboratory thermometer?
A laboratory thermometer is used to check the temperature, or changes in temperature, of an object with precise accuracy.
