A temperature probe incorporates a thermocouple in its tip which gives a signal to a piece of electronic kit which translates the signal into a temperature figure. A thermometer is a direct reading instrument which usually incorporates a bulb containing Mercury or another fluid, or it may use a bimetallic strip which bends under temperature changes. A thermometer is good for ambient measurements but not suitable for putting into small spaces or pressure vessels for example. A probe is more versatile.

What is the difference between a bulb thermometer and a electronic thermometer?
A bulb thermometer uses a liquid (usually mercury) inside a glass tube to measure temperature, while an electronic thermometer uses a sensor to detect temperature changes and provides a digital readout. Bulb thermometers are being phased out due to safety concerns with mercury, while electronic thermometers are more accurate and convenient to use.
How does an electrical thermometer works?
An electrical thermometer works by measuring changes in electrical resistance as temperature changes. This change in resistance is then converted into a temperature reading. The resistance of the sensor in the thermometer varies with temperature, allowing for accurate temperature measurements.
How do you measure static temperature?
Static temperature can be measured using a temperature sensor such as a thermometer or thermocouple. The sensor is placed in the area where the temperature needs to be measured and it provides a reading of the static temperature.
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.
How does a thermometor measure heat?
A thermometer measures heat by detecting changes in temperature through the expansion or contraction of a liquid (mercury or alcohol) or a digital sensor. As heat is absorbed or released by the thermometer, the liquid or sensor expands or contracts, causing the temperature reading to change accordingly.
What is the sensor in mercury in glass thermometer?
Temperature Sensor
What weather data does the Temperature sensor record and how does it do it?
A temperature sensor records temperature through the means of a mercury 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 the difference between a bulb thermometer and a electronic thermometer?
A bulb thermometer uses a liquid (usually mercury) inside a glass tube to measure temperature, while an electronic thermometer uses a sensor to detect temperature changes and provides a digital readout. Bulb thermometers are being phased out due to safety concerns with mercury, while electronic thermometers are more accurate and convenient to use.
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.
Is there a built in thermometer in my Asus Z87-PRO motherboard?
Not a thermometer as such - but there is a temperature sensor on most computer motherboards to monitor the CPU temperature.
What is the difference between pressure sensor and temp sensor?
One monitors pressure and the other monitors temperature.
How does an electrical thermometer works?
An electrical thermometer works by measuring changes in electrical resistance as temperature changes. This change in resistance is then converted into a temperature reading. The resistance of the sensor in the thermometer varies with temperature, allowing for accurate temperature measurements.
How do you measure static temperature?
Static temperature can be measured using a temperature sensor such as a thermometer or thermocouple. The sensor is placed in the area where the temperature needs to be measured and it provides a reading of the static temperature.
Can a transistor act as temperature sensor?
yeah...it can... if u attach a thermometer to it!! =) =P
Can the temperature sensor be accurately calibrated without using a reference thermometer?
Put it into a temperature controlled enviroment
What elements are used in a thomomitor?
A thermometer typically contains a temperature sensor (e.g., mercury, alcohol, or a digital sensor), a scale for measurement (e.g., Celsius or Fahrenheit), and a casing to protect the sensor and display the temperature reading.
