Overview of Thermometers and Their Types
Thermometer
•
A thermometer is a device that measure
temperature.
•
Types of thermometers:
1.
Glass-liquid thermometer
This type has two main parts: 1. the sensor part
which is the bulb of mercury-in-glass. 2. the
visible scale to read temperature.
•
Infrared thermometer which measure the
temperature of infrared radiation that is
radiated from body.
3.
Thermocouple thermometer:
A thermocouple is an electrical device
consisting of two dissimilar electrical
conductors forming electrical junctions at
different temperatures. A thermocouple
produces a temperature-dependent voltage
(potential difference), and this variation in
voltage can be interpreted to measure
temperature.

Thermometers are devices used to measure temperature, and there are various types available. Glass-liquid thermometers feature a mercury-in-glass bulb for sensing temperature, while infrared thermometers measure body temperature through infrared radiation. Thermocouple thermometers use electrical conduction to determine temperature. Each type serves specific purposes and has unique features. Images provided illustrate the different types of thermometers discussed.
