Why does not clinical thermometer contain markings above 42'c?
Clinical thermometers typically do not contain markings above 42°C because fever temperatures above this point are considered to be extremely high and potentially life-threatening. The focus of clinical thermometers is on measuring normal body temperature and detecting moderate fevers accurately. Higher fever temperatures may require medical attention beyond what a clinical thermometer can provide.
How is the Six's thermometer read?
The Six's thermometer is read by noting the lowest bulb containing a liquid that has risen above the height of the lower of the two threads. The temperature is then read directly along the scale where the top of the liquid intersects.
Why care must be taken when disposing of a mercury-in-glass thermometer?
Well i'm not that old but i know a few:1)The thermometer will be of two types; a) Clinical Thermometer b) Laboratory Thermometer;a) The Clinical Thermometer: used to measure the temperature of the human body, at home, clinics and hospitals.b) The Laboratory Thermometer: used to measure the temperature in school and other laboratories for scientific research.Precautions:Wash the thermometer before and after use with an antiseptic solution, and handle it with care.See that the mercury levels are below the kink and don't hold the thermometer near its bulb.While noting down the reading in the thermometer, place the mercury level along the eye sight.Do not place the Clinical thermometer in a hot flame or in the hot sun.Note:The Clinical Thermometer should go above 108*F (42*C) and below 94*F (35*C) otherwise it might blow off the top and leak. Therefore, a Clinical Thermometer is used to measure the body temperature.
Why should a clinical thermometer not be sterilize in boiling water?
Because clinical thermometer have a very small range. (20 to 45 degrees Celsius at most) and if placed in boiling water, the water being 100 degrees will cause damage to the thermometer.
Can you give a technical description of the clinical thermometer?
Definition:It is an instrument used to measure body temperature.Diagram:Description:It is a small glass thermometer designed for clinical use in humans or animals. Designed with a narrowing small glass above the bulb so that the mercury column stays in position when the instrument is removed from the body. It is carefully calibrated at the time of manufacturing. Now a days mercury thermometer not used because it can break, spilling mercury posing a risk of human or animal health. they can be inserted in the month, armpit, anus or even attached to the forehead depending on the design.

Why is it that the clinical thermometer does not have temperatures less than 34 Celsius or more than 41 Celsius?
Because those limits will cover the temperature of most humans. 34oC is only 93.2oF and 41oC is 105.8oF. The 'normal' temperature for a healthy adult is 37oC or 98.4oF - which falls roughly half-way between the upper and lower limits of a clinical thermometer. Below 34C and above 41C one is in danger of death so help is needed immediately and there is no need in early diagnosis to know temperatures below or above that

Why is the bore smaller right above the bulb in a thermometer?
The narrower the bore the less liquid (mercury or alcohol) is required so the bulb containing the fluid will adjust more quickly to the temperature being measured. o.k well the narrower bore makes the liquid move slower up the thermometer so the accuracy is better ?????
Why is the bore narrower directly above the bulb?
The narrow part above the bulb is known as the "throat" of the saxophone. It helps to focus and funnel the air stream coming from the player's mouth towards the reed. This design enhances the control and direction of the air, improving the instrument's responsiveness and tone production.
What do you do before taking an axillary temperature?
Shake down the thermometer before using, if the reading on the thermometer is 94.0º F or above.
Is there air in a glass thermometer?
Yes, above the mercury or the other liquid.
What is directly above the outer core?
Directly above the outer core is the mantle.
Why would a 0C to 100C thermometer be useless to a doctor examining a patient?
It would not be accurate enough. The clinical thermometer works over a limited range and gives accurate more readings. It would be useful. The temperature of patients rarely drop below freezing and they rarely boil. It would be useless to measure the temperature of food though because food is often cooked above 100C.
