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.

How does the rotary thermometer work?
A rotary thermometer works by using a metal coil that expands and contracts with temperature changes. As the coil expands or contracts, it rotates a pointer on a scale or dial to indicate the temperature. This movement is due to the principle of thermal expansion, where materials expand or contract when heated or cooled.
How do you tell how hot or cold something is?
use a thermometer.We can feel how hot or cold something is. However, sometimes things are just too hot or cold for us to feel safely. At other times we need to know exactly how hot or cold something is. When we need to measure temperature correctly we need to use an instrument called a thermometer. This measures temperature in degrees Celsius [sometimes called centigrade] or degrees Fahrenheit. There are different types of thermometers for different situations. A medical thermometer, for example, needs to be very accurate. It measures in fractions of degrees. When we are ill, even tiny changes in temperature are important. Some thermometers use a liquid that moves up a very fine glass tube. Most room thermometers, and outdoor thermometers are like this. The liquid is either mercury [ which is poisonous] or coloured alcohol. As liquids get warmer they expand [get bigger], and move up the tube. Water expands too, but not as much as alcohol and mercury. Thermometers that might be used by small children are not made of glass. They use a digital display which lights up the temperature. Inside the displays are chemicals that change colour according to the temperature.
Explain why a bimetallic strip is used in a rotary thermometer instead of a strip with only one kind of metal.?
A bimetallic strip is made from two different metals that expand at a different rates. Two strips of these metals are bonded together, and when the temperature changes, one side expands more than the other, forcing the bimetallic strip to curl (the longer side would be on the outside of the curl). So if one end is clamped, the other moves. This motion is used to turn the dial of the thermometer.

How do you use rotary thermometer?
To use a rotary thermometer, first ensure it is properly calibrated if necessary. Insert the thermometer probe into the substance you wish to measure, ensuring it is fully immersed but not touching the sides of the container. Rotate the dial to select the desired measurement scale (Celsius or Fahrenheit), and wait for the reading to stabilize before taking the measurement. Finally, remove the thermometer, clean it according to the manufacturer's instructions, and record the temperature.

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.)
