Who was the Italian to first put the numerical scale on the thermometer?
Santorio Santorio.
Who discovered clinical thermometer?
Santorio Santorio, an Italian physician, is credited with inventing the clinical thermometer in the early 17th century. He was the first to use a sealed glass tube with a numerical scale for measuring body temperature.
Who invented the weather thermometer?
Sir Edmond Halley - of the comet fame - was a British scientist who made a number inventions, one of which was the metal coil thermometer. It is still in use today in refrigerators, freezers, and ovens. See related link for more information.
Who invented the water thrmometer?
The first thermometers were called thermoscopes and while several inventors invented a version of the thermoscope at the same time, Italian inventor Santorio Santorio was the first inventor to put a numerical scale on the instrument. Galileo Galilei invented a rudimentary water thermometer in 1593 which, for the first time, allowed temperature variations to be measured. In 1714, Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, the modern thermometer.
What is the index of a thermometer?
The index of a thermometer is the scale or numerical reference used to indicate temperature readings. It can be in either Celsius or Fahrenheit, depending on the type of thermometer.
What does a thermometer tell you?
A thermometer measures temperature. It tells you how hot or cold something is by showing a numerical value on a scale.
When was the first thermometer invented?
In 1612 the inventor Santorio Santorio became the first to put a scale on his thermometer. It was perhaps the first crude clinical thermometer as it was designed to be placed in a patients mouth for temperature taking
Who invented the modern-day thermometer?
Santorio Santorio was the first inventor to put a numerical scale on the instrument. Galileo Galilei invented a rudimentary water thermometer in 1593 which, for the first time, allowed temperature variations to be measured. In 1714, Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, the modern thermometer.
Is the Fahrenheit thermometer scale proportional to the Celsius thermometer scale?
There is nothing special about either scale
Inventor of the thermometer?
http://wiki.answers.com/Which_Italian_inventor_invented_the_thermometerThe Italian inventor Santorio Santorio was the first to numerically scale a device that was sensitive to changing temperatures. It was made for use in medical application during the 16th century.
Who invented the mercury thrrmometer?
The first modern thermometer, the mercury thermometer with a standardized scale, was invented by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1714.
Who invented the thermometer in 1596?
Several inventors invented a version of the thermoscope at the same time. In 1593, Galileo Galilei invented a rudimentary water thermoscope, which for the first time, allowed temperature variations to be measured. Today, Galileo's inventioni is called the Galileo Thermometer, even though by definition it was really a thermoscope. It was a container filled with bulbs of varying mass, each with a temperature marking, the buoyancy of water changes with temperature, some of the bulbs sink while others float, the lowest bulb indicated what temperature it was. In 1612, the Italian inventor Santorio Santorio became the first inventor to put a numerical scale on his thermoscope. It was perhaps the first crude clinical thermometer, as it was designed to be place in a patient's mouth for temperature taking. Both Galilei's and Santorio's instruments were not very accurate. In 1654, the first enclosed liquid-in-a-glass thermometer was invented by the Grand Duke of Tuscany, Ferdinand II. The Duke used alcohol as his liquid. However, it was still inaccurate and used no standardized scale.Fahrenheit Scale - Daniel Gabriel FahrenheitWhat can be considered the first modern thermometer, the mercury thermometer with a standardized scale, was invented by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1714. Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit was the German physicist who invented a alcohol thermometer in 1709, and the mercury thermometer in 1714. In 1724, he introduced the standard temperature scale that bears his name - Fahrenheit Scale - that was used to record changes in temperature in an accurate fashion.
