The glass thermometer is the most familiar of all thermometers because mercury and petrolate are the most common fluids in this kind of thermometer.

Explanation:

The accuracy of a typical glass thermometer is ±1 scale division.
These are available in partial immersion or total immersion types and typically have to be considerably longer to achieve the same specifications as a mercury thermometer.
Bimetal thermometers do not require power and an economical option.
Organic liquids which are usually employed for construction of liquid in glass thermometers include toluene, ethyl alcohol and pentane.
Although their thermal expansion is high but they are non linear and their use is restricted for high temperatures.
This thermometer is a thin glass tube with a red or blue line inside.
These thermometers are safe to use for people over the age of 5.
A child younger than 5 may bite the thermometer, breaking it in their mouth.
Glass thermometers with galinstan may also be used to check an oral temperature.
A thermometer has a glass tube sealed at both ends and is partly filled with a liquid like mercury or alcohol.
The temperature around the thermometer's bulb heats up, and liquid rises in the glass tube.
When it is hot, the liquid inside the thermometer will expand and rise in the tube.
