Basic Types of Thermometers. Traditional thermometers are designed for at home use for measuring the temperature of the air or water in both F or C. These should not require much maintenance, but they may have a varied accuracy, range and resolution.
In a mercury thermometer, a glass tube is filled with mercury and a standard temperature scale is marked on the tube. With changes in temperature, the mercury expands and contracts, and the temperature can be read from the scale. Mercury thermometers can be used to determine body, liquid, and vapor temperature. Mercury thermometers are used in households, laboratory experiments, and industrial applications.
