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. 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 ...

6. Temperature measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature_measurement

   Such thermometers are usually calibrated so that one can read the temperature simply by observing the level of the fluid in the thermometer. Another type of thermometer that is not really used much in practice, but is important from a theoretical standpoint, is the gas thermometer .

7. Scale of temperature - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_of_temperature

   Scale of temperature is a methodology of calibrating the physical quantity temperature in metrology. Empirical scales measure temperature in relation to convenient and stable parameters or reference points , such as the freezing and boiling point of water .

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. Calibration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calibration

   The formal definition of calibration by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) is the following: "Operation that, under specified conditions, in a first step, establishes a relation between the quantity values with measurement uncertainties provided by measurement standards and corresponding indications with associated measurement uncertainties (of the calibrated instrument or ...
