thermometer

Physics

An instrument used for measuring the temperature of a substance. A number of techniques and forms are used in thermometers depending on such factors as the degree of accuracy required and the range of temperatures to be measured, but they all measure temperature by making use of some property of a substance that varies with temperature. For example, liquid-in-glass thermometers depend on the expansion of a liquid, usually mercury or alcohol coloured with dye. These consist of a liquid-filled glass bulb attached to a partially filled capillary tube. In the bimetallic thermometer the unequal expansion of two dissimilar metals that have been bonded together into a narrow strip and coiled is used to move a pointer round a dial. The gas thermometer, which is more accurate than the liquid-in-glass thermometer, measures the variation in the pressure of a gas kept at constant volume. The resistance thermometer is based on the change in resistance of conductors or semiconductors with temperature change. Platinum, nickel, and copper are the metals most commonly used in resistance thermometers. See also pyrometry; thermistor; thermocouple.

Chemical Engineering

An instrument used to measure temperature based on the thermal expansion of a gas or liquid. Commonly used liquid-in-glass thermometers consist of a bulb containing a liquid such as mercury or some other liquid such as alcohol coloured with a dye, and a long graduated capillary. As the temperature of the liquid rises, the liquid expands (p. 378) out of the bulb and moves along the graduated scale. The temperature is read directly. Other principles of operation include the expansion of metal and bi-metallic materials, the change in resistance to the flow of electricity and semi-conductors (thermistors). Copper, platinum, and nickel are the most commonly used metals in resistance thermometers.
