1. Objectives
1 To determine the difference between the thermometer that we use.
2 To measure the temperature of the boiling water using the different
kinds of thermometer.
3 To compare the accuracy of the various temperature measuring
devices.
4 To have the knowledge to read this kind of thermometer
5 To be familiar with the use of the thermometer that we use.
3. DISCUSSION
3.1 MERCURIAL THERMOMETER
Pyrex Glass with Fused Quartz allows the upper temperature range to be
extended to 800 C (1472 F).
Mercury cannot be used below the temperature at which it becomes solid,
38.83 C (37.89 F). If the thermometer contains nitrogen, the gas may flow
down into the column when the mercury solidifies and be trapped there when
the temperature rises, making the thermometer unusable until returned to the
factory for reconditioning. To avoid this, some weather services require that all
mercury-in-glass thermometers be brought indoors when the temperature falls
to 37 C (34.6 F).
To measure lower meteorological temperatures, a thermometer containing a
mercury-thallium alloy which does not solidify until the temperature drops to
61.1 C (78 F) may be used.

A vapour
pressure
thermometer is
a thermometer that
uses
[1]
a pressure gauge to measure the vapour pressure of a liquid. basically
handheld devices and uses gas having large entropy wherein the pressure of
the gas is converted to temperature by means of a bourden gauge which
represents temperature over calibrated scale having cramped rulings.
The vapor pressure of a liquid is the pressure under which a liquid is in
equilibrium with its vapor phase. the vapor pressure is a function of the
temperature of the liquid in question. At a temperature corresponding
pressure. At the temperature increase is an increase in the transition from liquid
to gas, a state of equilibrium is created between liquid and vapor, as well as the
pressure has increased. These thermometers are very sensitive but the scale is
not linear. The measurement accuracy is 1%. The typical temperature range is

layer of metal expands or contracts more than the other layer of metal in a
bimetallic strip arrangement which results in bending or curvature change of
the strip. The working principle of a bimetallic thermometer is illustrated in
figure below. One end of a straight bimetallic strip is fixed in place. As the strip
is heated, the other end tends to curve away from the side that has the greater
coefficient of linear expansion.

First, ready the devices that we need to use in this experiment. Take a
beaker filled with 1liter water. Put the water in the water bath with stirrer then
put the different kinds of measuring temperature devices. After that turn on the
electric stove to heating the water bath. Wait until it reach the boiling point of
the water then measure the temperature of the water first with infrared
thermometer. After it reaches 100 c* , read the other devices then list its
temperature reading. After compare the reading of each temperature
measuring devices.
