Clinical thermometer is scaled from 35°C to 42°C or from 94°F to 108°F. Laboratory thermometer is generally scaled from -10°C to 110°C.
Mercury level does not fall on its own, as there is a kink near the bulb to prevent the fall of mercury level. Mercury level falls on its own as no kink is present.
Temperature can be read after removing the thermometer from armpit or mouth. Temperature is read while keeping the thermometer in the source of temperature, e.g. a liquid or any other thing.
To lower the mercury level jerks are given. No need to give jerk to lower the mercury level.
It is used for taking the body temperature. It is used to take temperature in laboratory.
