Medical Glass Thermometer

Medical Glass Thermometer is a traditional instrument used to measure body temperature. It consists of a glass tube with mercury or alcohol inside and a temperature scale etched on the side. The thermometer works by measuring the expansion of the liquid as it heats up, which causes the level to rise on the scale.

The glass tube of the thermometer is usually made of borosilicate glass, which is resistant to thermal shock and chemical corrosion. The liquid inside can be mercury, which is highly toxic, or alcohol, which is less toxic and safer to use.

Common specifications of Medical Glass Thermometers include length, range, accuracy, and response time. The length of the thermometer can range from 120mm to 200mm. The temperature range can vary from -10°C to 110°C. The accuracy can be within ±0.1°C or ±0.2°C. The response time can be 3 to 5 minutes.

Medical Glass Thermometer is commonly used in medical settings, such as hospitals, clinics, and doctor’s offices, to measure body temperature. It can also be used at home for personal health monitoring.
