Alcohol is used in Six's max min thermometers because it has a low freezing point and a wide temperature range before boiling, making it suitable for measuring both high and low temperatures accurately. Additionally, alcohol has a high thermal expansion coefficient, allowing the thermometer to respond quickly to temperature changes.

What is a max-min thermometer?
A max-min thermometer is a type of thermometer that records the maximum and minimum temperatures reached over a specific period. It contains two markers that can be moved by the mercury or alcohol in the thermometer to indicate the highest and lowest temperatures. This type of thermometer is often used to monitor temperature fluctuations in indoor or outdoor environments.
What is max thermometer and min thermometer?
A max thermometer is a thermometer that records the highest temperature reached during a period of time, while a min thermometer records the lowest temperature. These thermometers are used to track temperature fluctuations over time and can be helpful for monitoring conditions in various settings, from weather forecasting to industrial processes.
How do you read a min max thermometer?
To read a min max thermometer, look at the two separate scales for the minimum and maximum temperatures. The lowest temperature recorded will be displayed on the minimum scale, while the highest temperature recorded will be shown on the maximum scale. Reset the thermometer to start a new recording period.
Why does the mercury fall or rise in a clinical thermometer when it is taken out of the mouth?
A clinical thermometer measures the max temp of the human body due to the expansion of the mercury in the bulb, which flows past a kink in the column and rises in the graduated stem, to read the highest body-temp. Once it is removed from the body, the mercury stays at that level, and does not fall because it cannot flow back into the bulb -- the kink prevents the back flow. It has to be shaken vigorously, as you know, for us to get the mercury back; then it is ready to take the temp again.. Also, the temp cannot rise further on its own from the max reading because the mercury does not expand the moment the thermometer is taken out of the body. Incidentally, temp can be measured under the armpits and in the rectum also.
Can a thermometer explode?
yes it can i left a 50C max temperature thermometer in my truck in the sun for 20 Min's and it exploded. No idea if there was any noise with this event, but the base red part was completely blown away with no signs of any of glass fragments. I'm guessing it had to have hit 70C as I've been in a dry sauna before at 75C and it felt much the same. Hot to the point that you can not move at any speed cause the air feels like open flame near your face. cheers if anyone gets bored enough one day to put a 50C thermometer in a pot of water with a digital thermometer and actually test this i'd be curious to know the answer! p.s. never leave a pet in any vehicle unattended without a window open.
