Question

DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN CLINICAL AND LABORATORY THERMOMETER.

Answer 1

Answer:

1- Clinical thermometer are used to measure the temperature of body. Whereas, Laboratory thermometer is not used for the purpose of measuring body temperature.

2- Clinical thermometer temperature range: 35°C to 42°C.Laboratory thermometer temperature range: -10°C to 110°C.

3- Clinical thermometer is used for measuring human body temperature whereas laboratory thermometer is used for measuring higher than average human body temperature.

4- Clinical thermometer is simple device having shorter range used at homes, hospitals and clinics. Laboratory thermometer is a complex device used in laboratories for accurate temperature measurements in scientific fields

5- Clinical thermometer- It's use of mercury is most actively discouraged. Laboratory thermometer- It's use of mercury is less dangerous.

Similarities:

(i) Both clinical and laboratory thermometers have long, narrow, uniform glass tubes.

(ii) The bulbs of both the thermometers have mercury in them.

Differences:

(i) The temperature range of clinical thermometers is from 35°C to 42°C while that of laboratory thermometer is from −10°C to 110°C.

(ii) Clinical thermometer is used to measure the temperature of a human body. However, laboratory thermometer cannot be used to measure the temperature of a human body.

(iii) The least count of both the thermometers differs.

(iv) Unlike clinical thermometer that can be tilted, laboratory thermometer is kept upright while reading the temperature values.
