because Clinical" used for living things like us
outside that range you would be measuring the Temperature of something dead
Temperature measurement is difficult because temperature is a measure of the average Kinetic energy of particles
the true range is from absolute zero, about - 260 deg C, which cannot be reached to no upper limit
at which not even atoms can exist
think of of measuring distance. the scale, millimeter, meter, kilometer, light year etc depends on the size of the object to be measured

Hey Rahul,
Clinical thermometers are not used to measure high temperatures because it is graduated from 34°C to 42°C. This is because the temperature of the human body varies within this range. So its not suitable to use clinical thermometers for measuring any other temperature other than the human body temperature.
Hope this helps you... : )
