Question

give any 2 similarities and differences between clinical and laboratory thermometer????

Answer 1

A clinical thermometer’s range is 35 degrees Celsius to 42 degrees Celsius while a laboratory thermometer’s range is wider at -10 degrees Celsius to 110 degrees Celsius.

Regarding mercury-filled devices, clinical thermometers have kinks to prevent the instant back flow of mercury. On the other hand, laboratory thermometers do not usually need to actively stop such back flow.
