2. Mercury-in-glass thermometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury-in-glass_thermometer

   A medical mercury-in-glass maximum thermometer showing the temperature of 38.7 °C (101.7 °F). One special kind of mercury-in-glass thermometer, called a maximum thermometer, works by having a constriction in the neck close to the bulb. As the temperature rises, the mercury is pushed up through the constriction by the force of expansion.

3. Beckmann thermometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beckmann_thermometer

   A Beckmann thermometer is a device used to measure small differences of temperature, but not absolute temperature values. It was invented by Ernst Otto Beckmann (1853 – 1923), a German chemist, for his measurements of colligative properties in 1905. [1] Today its use has largely been superseded by platinum PT100 resistance thermometers and ...

   The thermometer tip must then be left in place until a reading can be derived, usually about 3 minutes for mercury thermometers and 1 minute for newer electronic types. It is important to remember that the normal human core temperature range measured with a rectal thermometer spans from 37.0 to 38.0 degrees Celsius.

6. Mercury (element) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_(element)

   The bulb of a mercury-in-glass thermometer. Mercury is used primarily for the manufacture of industrial chemicals or for electrical and electronic applications. It is used in some liquid-in-glass thermometers, especially those used to measure high temperatures.

7. Thermometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermometer

   A thermometer is a device that measures temperature (the degree of hotness or coldness of an object) or temperature gradient (the rates of change of temperature in space). A thermometer has two important elements: (1) a temperature sensor (e.g. the bulb of a mercury-in-glass thermometer or the pyrometric sensor in an infrared thermometer) in ...
