[BUYING GUIDE] How to Choose the Right Thermometer?

A thermometer is an essential device designed for measuring and displaying temperature. It provides crucial information in various fields such as medicine, meteorology, scientific research, industry, and everyday applications like heating and air conditioning systems and kitchens. Since it is not always easy to choose the right equipment in front of a multitude of manufacturers, we have produced this buying guide with tips and recommendations to help you make the right purchasing decision.

Different Types of Thermometers

There are different kinds of thermometers, depending on your needs.

Expansion-Based Thermometers: They utilize the principle of materials expanding or contracting with temperature changes.

Example: mercury or alcohol thermometers.

Pressure-Based Thermometers: They used the pressure variations in a gas or liquid to determine temperature changes.

Example: gas thermometers.

Electrical Resistance Thermometers: The temperature is measured based on changes in electrical resistance.

Example: platinum resistance thermometers

Infrared Thermometers: They detect infrared radiation emitted by an object to determine its temperature.

Applications: non-contact temperature measurements.
