Each side is read at the bottom of the marker that has been pushed upward since the last reading. Don't read the colored fluid where it is at that time. That would only give you the current temperature.
The bottom of the maximum marker is at the highest point that it was pushed to at the warmest time since the last reset, and the base of the minimum marker is where the liquid reached at the coldest time.
The markers need to be reset at the same time each day with a magnet. Drag the markers back so they are both sitting on top of the silver Mercury near the bottom of the tube. Horizontal thermometers are reset by turning them to vertical.
JAMES SIX invented the Maximum and Minimum thermometer in 1782.
Maximum minimum thermometer
principle of six's minimam & maximum thermometer
six's maximum and minimum thermometer is used to measure the temperature
There is no special name for a maximum-minimum thermometer. It generally consists of two scales one will push a slider up as the temperature increases and the other thermometer pushes a slider down as the temperature goes down. You read it by observing the position of the sliders and then reset it so that the sliders return to the current temperature.
The thermometer which captured the minimum and maximum values.
simply
The advantage is the thermometer records a daily maximum and minimum temperature for reference. The disadvantage is the thermometer must be reset each day.
Touch each end
Use a maximum-minimum thermometer.
Six's thermometer is a thermometer which can measure the maximum and minimum temperaturesreached over a period of time, usually during a day.
Six's maximum and minimum thermometer is a popularthermometer . Its purpose is to recordthe maximum and minimum temperatures reached since the thermometer was last read. Generally speaking a minimum temperatureoccurs during the night and amaximumduring the day.. It is interesting to note that Six's maximum and minimum thermometers were still being used in 2000 of exactly the samedesign and construction as ones produced over 100 years ago. Gardeners use max-min thermometers in the greenhouse and the garden to check minimum temperatures during the cold months when frost can be a problem and to check the maximum temperature during the daytime.Gardeners use max-min thermometers in the greenhouse and the garden to check minimum temperatures during the cold months when frost can be a problem and to check the maximum temperature during the daytime.
