2. Indoor–outdoor thermometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indoor–outdoor_thermometer

   Indoor-outdoor thermometer. An indoor–outdoor thermometer is a thermometer that simultaneously provides a measurement of the indoor and outdoor temperatures. The outdoor part of the thermometer requires some kind of remote temperature sensing device. Conventionally, this was done by extending the bulb of the thermometer to the remote site.

3. Wet-bulb globe temperature - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet-bulb_globe_temperature

   T g = Globe thermometer temperature (measured with a globe thermometer, also known as a black globe thermometer) T d = Dry-bulb temperature (actual air temperature) Temperatures may be in either Celsius or Fahrenheit; Indoors the following formula is used: = +

4. 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.

5. Room temperature - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_temperature

   A digital thermometer reading an ambient temperature of 36.4°C (97°F) in an unventilated room during a heat wave; a high indoor temperature can cause heat exhaustion or heat stroke in a person. The World Health Organization in 1987 found that comfortable indoor temperatures of 18–24 °C (64–75 °F) were not associated with health risks ...

6. Thermometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermometer

   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 which some change occurs with a change in temperature; and (2) some means of converting this change into a numerical value (e.g. the visible scale that is marked on a mercury ...

7. Smart thermometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_thermometer

   A smart thermometer is a medical thermometer which is able to transmit its readings so that they can be collected, stored and analyzed. Since 2012 Kinsa has distributed smart thermometers to two million households across the US. The thermometers transmit their readings to an app on the users' phones.

8. Infrared thermometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_thermometer

   An infrared thermometer is a thermometer which infers temperature from a portion of the thermal radiation sometimes called black-body radiation emitted by the object being measured. They are sometimes called laser thermometers as a laser is used to help aim the thermometer, or non-contact thermometers or temperature guns , to describe the ...

9. Six's thermometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six's_thermometer

   Six's maximum and minimum thermometer is a registered thermometer that can record the maximum and minimum temperatures reached over a period of time, for example 24 hours. It is used to record the extremes of temperature at a location, for instance in meteorology and horticulture .
