GLASS THERMOMETER
•THERMOMETER GLASS
• function -> It is a
  device used to measure
  the temperature with
  liquid in capillary
  coloum or glass
• Kind of Types of glass
  thermometer
    Mercury thermometer
    Alcohol thermometer
    Mixed thermometer
THERMOMETER MERCURY
• The mercury will freeze at a temperature of -
  38.83 ° C (-37.89 ° F) and can only be used at
  temperatures above it. Mercury, unlike water,
  does not expand when frozen so it does not break
  the glass tube, making it difficult to observe
  when it freezes
1.   Advantages from the mercury thermometer are:


     1. Mercury can absorb / take the heat from the temperature
     measured something.
     2. Mercury has properties that do not wet the medium of
     glass on the thermometer.
     3. Mercury can be seen easily because of its shiny.
     4. Mercury possesses expansion / expand a regular basis
     from the temperature to the temperature.
     5. Mercury has a freezing point and boiling point range is
     remote, making it suitable for measuring high
     temperatures.
THERMOMETER ALCOHOL
Alcohol thermometer is a thermometer which use the alcohol as a
medium gauge, which is an alternative to mercury thermometers
with the same function. But it is not the same as the mercury in a
glass thermometer. Contents are non-toxic and alcohol
thermometer will evaporate fairly quickly.
Advantages of alcohol than mercury
thermometers are:
1) alcohol is more sensitive, because changes
   volume greater than mercury for the same
   temperature change. Thus, for the same
   temperature change, the change in length
   of mercury column larger,
2) alcohol can measure extremely cold
   temperatures, for example, the temperature
   at the poles, because the freezing point of
   alcohol is very low at-112 C.
MIXED THERMOMETER
Some companies use a mixture of gallium, indium, and tin
(galinstan) instead of mercury.

How Thermometers Work
In general, how the thermometer is as follows: When the
temperature rises, the liquid in the bulb tube expands more
than the glass that covered it. As a result, a thin thread
which fluid is forced into the capillaries. Conversely, when
the temperature drops, the liquid and the liquid shrinks thin
tube that moves back down. The movement ends labeled
thin liquid meniscus is read against a scale that indicates
the temperature.
• Today, mercury thermometers are still widely used in the
  fields of meteorology, but use the other fields on the
  wane, because mercury is very toxic permanently on the
  system is fragile and some developed countries have
  condemned its use for medical purposes. Some
  companies use a mixture of gallium, indium, and tin
  (galinstan) instead of mercury.
