What is the function of compensating leads in the platinum resistance thermometer?
It is used for the compensation of the platinum wire. in direct sense of current.
What is the purpose of a Thermometer ring stand holder?
Thermometer holder is a tool to hold the thermometer for taking the different reading of the body,liquid, or mass. So this holder helps to hold the thermometer,this holder is made up of such material(cork) so it does not effect the temperature of thermometer.
Why is it inappropriate to stir a liquid with a thermometer?
Because that will mess with the temperature reading on the thermometer. And it would be dangerous if the thermometer is broken as there are dangerous chemicals (i.e.mercury) inside.
Why does the doctor dip the thermometer in a liquid before use?
it is alcohol to disinfect the thermometer
Function of thermometer?
The function of a thermometer is to measure temperature.
The function of a Mercury thermometer?
to tell old people that have a mercury thermometer what the temperature is
What is the function of the laboratory thermometer?
A Thermometer is a Laboratory Equipment that measures temperature.
What change takes place in the liquid inside a thermometer when it is placed into somthing cold?
The liquid inside the thermometer "contracts" when it is placed into something cold. This means that it decreases in volume and increases in density. This is the reason that the thermometer can measure heat: the volume of the liquid inside the thermometer changes as a function of heat, and the amount of liquid in the "tube" of the thermometer changes as a function of volume. Because of this relationship, the level of the liquid in the tube of the thermometer changes as a function of heat.
What is the function of thermometer in laboratory?
A thermometer is used for measuring accurate temperatures. Also using the degrees Fahrenheit and Celsius.
What is the function of a maverick thermometer?
Maverick Housewares is a company that makes various housewares, including thermometers. A Maverick Thermometer seems to refer to a digital cooking thermometer, most often with a wireless remote.
Function of bent tube earth thermometer?

How do you tell how hot or cold something is?
use a thermometer.We can feel how hot or cold something is. However, sometimes things are just too hot or cold for us to feel safely. At other times we need to know exactly how hot or cold something is. When we need to measure temperature correctly we need to use an instrument called a thermometer. This measures temperature in degrees Celsius [sometimes called centigrade] or degrees Fahrenheit. There are different types of thermometers for different situations. A medical thermometer, for example, needs to be very accurate. It measures in fractions of degrees. When we are ill, even tiny changes in temperature are important. Some thermometers use a liquid that moves up a very fine glass tube. Most room thermometers, and outdoor thermometers are like this. The liquid is either mercury [ which is poisonous] or coloured alcohol. As liquids get warmer they expand [get bigger], and move up the tube. Water expands too, but not as much as alcohol and mercury. Thermometers that might be used by small children are not made of glass. They use a digital display which lights up the temperature. Inside the displays are chemicals that change colour according to the temperature.
What is the function of soor opens facing north in Stevenson screen?
protect thermometer from direct sunlight
What is the function of thermometer mercury?
The Mercury expands with temperature. Since expansion is linear over the normal range of a mercury-driven thermometer, the level of mercury within a little glass tube indicates the current temperature of the thermometer's immediate environment.
What is the function of wooden box in Stevenson screen?
stops direct sunlight from reaching to thermometer during the readings
What is the function of the thermometer in the process of distillation?
To indicate when the vaporization temperature of the medium being distilled has been reached.
