What else can I help you with?
Who element used of the glass tube of clinical thermometer to measure thermometer?
mercury
What is a capillary tube in instrumentation terms?
a thermometer--
Why is the thermometer placed in a tube separate from the culture?
If the thermometer was in a culture tube it would interfere with the subsequent transfers of culture to plates across the time intervals.
How does a thermomerator measure temperature?
that depends on what type of thermometer. The tube thermometer, the kind with a glass tube with a red liquid in it, uses a small amount of mercury in a very small tube. When the mercury is heated, it expands, pushing further up the tube, as it cools it contracts, going down the tube. A dial thermometer also works on expansion and contraction, but with a coil instead of mercury.
What is a thermometer bore?
A bore refers to the extremely fine or narrow tube found in a thermometer. It is called a narrow bore or a capillary.
What is inside the glass tube from a thermometer?
either mercury or alcohol
Does mercury stay in the tube or escape into the air?
Mercury stays contained in the tube of a mercury thermometer when in use. It does not escape into the air as long as the thermometer is intact. However, if the thermometer is broken or improperly disposed of, mercury vapor can be released into the air, which is harmful to health.
How does an air thermometer work?
An air thermometer has a bubble of liquid inside the tube and when the air inside of the tube heats up or cools down, the air takes up either more or less space inside of the tube, causing the bubble of liquid to either move upwards or downwards, indicating the temperature.
How does a fluid expansion thermometer work?
A fluid expansion thermometer consists of a bulb filled with a liquid, typically mercury or alcohol, connected to a capillary tube. As the temperature increases, the liquid in the bulb expands and rises up the capillary tube. The temperature is read by measuring the height of the liquid in the tube, which corresponds to the temperature scale on the thermometer.
What causes liquid in thermometer to travel up and down in tube?
Heat causes Mercury in the thermometer to expand, where as when it is cooled, it contracts.
How mercury rises in thermometer by rising temp?
The mercury in the thermometer's tube expands and contracts due to the surrounding temperature. As the mercury is inside a narrow tube, it can only expand upwards, and contract downwards.
What is liquid-in-glass thermometer?
A liquid-in-glass thermometer is a type of thermometer that consists of a glass tube filled with a liquid, typically mercury or alcohol, which expands or contracts with changes in temperature. The level of the liquid in the tube corresponds to the temperature, allowing for temperature measurement.
