Most dial thermometers use a bimetal spring to drive the pointer on the the thermometer face. Two metals are laminated together and wound to form the spring. One metal expands (or contracts) more rapidly than the other due to temperature changes. As the spring's shape changes the pointer moves accordingly. Another type of dial thermometer uses temperature-sensitive gas in a sealed tube to drive the point.
A dial stem thermometer typically ranges between -50°F to 500°F (-45°C to 260°C).
A dial stem thermometer typically ranges between -18°C to 260°C (-1°F to 500°F). It is important to check the specific range of the thermometer you are using to ensure accurate readings within its limits.
No, a thermometer doesn't physically go up. Rather, it measures and displays changes in temperature by using a scale or dial to indicate the temperature.
The keyword "what" in a Galileo thermometer is used to indicate the temperature at which the liquid-filled bulbs inside the thermometer are floating.
You can use a digital or analog thermometer to measure the temperature of ice, but it's best to use a thermometer that can measure low temperatures accurately. A thermometer that measures from -50°C to 50°C would be suitable for measuring the temperature of ice.
The function of a thermometer is to measure temperature.
The temperature of the air causes the spring in an outdoor thermometer to retract or contract. This motion displays the temperature on the dial.
A dial stem thermometer typically ranges between -50°F to 500°F (-45°C to 260°C).
No. The sun dial was an early device to help tell time.

A Thermometer is a Laboratory Equipment that measures temperature.
In a liquid thermometer the liquid will retreat towards the reservoir bulb at the end of the thermometer. In other types of thermometers - digital, dial, etc. - decreasing values of the reading are an indication that temperature is dropping.

A rotary thermometer is a type of thermometer that uses a metal coil or bimetallic strip to measure temperature. The coil or strip expands or contracts with changes in temperature, causing the pointer on the dial to move. This movement indicates the temperature on the scale displayed on the dial. Rotary thermometers are commonly used in industrial applications and in cooking to measure high temperatures.
A thermometer is used for measuring accurate temperatures. Also using the degrees Fahrenheit and Celsius.
