Definition of thermometer in English:

thermometer

noun θəˈmɒmɪtəθərˈmɑmədər

An instrument for measuring and indicating temperature, typically one consisting of a narrow, hermetically sealed glass tube marked with graduations and having at one end a bulb containing mercury or alcohol which extends along the tube as it expands.
Example sentencesExamples

- In some locations, the sale of mercury thermometers is banned completely.
- All you need is a mercury thermometer, which you keep by your bed.
- Joule also invented extremely precise thermometers, which could measure temperature changes to within fractions of a degree Fahrenheit.
- She checked the temperature on the thermometer and wrote something down on the clip board.
- There are generally three different types of thermometers; glass, digital, and tympanic.
- Show your child how to use a simple thermometer to take the temperature of the water.
- Another option is a digital aural thermometer that measures the temperature in the ear.
- Ideally you should use a meat thermometer to monitor the temperature as you cook.
- While walking, each participant also had a rectal thermometer in place to measure core temperature.
- Take the person's temperature with a thermometer that has been shaken to its lowest point.
- When a mercury thermometer breaks, it is difficult and very expensive to clean up properly.
- Formerly a medicine-cabinet staple, these mercury thermometers have lately been ruled a public health hazard.
- Digital thermometers and alcohol-filled glass models are just as accurate as mercury ones, and many hospitals are already making the switch.
- Some states have banned the use of mercury thermometers as a first step toward phasing out the use of this toxic metal altogether.

Derivatives

thermometric

adjective θəːməˈmɛtrɪkˌθərməˈmɛtrɪk

For personnel who are responsible for patients at risk of excessively low or high body temperatures, knowledge of various temperature sites and thermometric devices is imperative for provision of appropriate care.
Example sentencesExamples
- Microclimates can greatly upset thermometric readings of nonstationary thermometers.
- In 1848 Thomson produced a paper which set out to establish the basis of an absolute thermometric scale.

thermometrical

adjective θəːməˈmɛtrɪk(ə)l

The assiduity with which botanists have considered this subject of a thermometrical mean shows that more or less they have regarded it in the same light.
Example sentencesExamples
- The highest thermometrical reading in the main hatchway was 84 degrees on September 27th and the lowest was 45 degrees Fahrenheit on November 7th.
- Hooke studies the nature of air and its relationship to respiration and combustion, the laws of falling bodies, improvements to diving-bells, telegraphy, the weather, he sets the thermometrical zero at the freezing point of water, and also invents a machine for cutting gear wheels.
- But there were no strict frontiers in science; they would also collect rocks and minerals, thermometrical, barometrical and hydrographical data, articles of clothing, savage furniture, musical instruments and weapons of war.

thermometry

noun

Body temperature is therefore most accurately measured by an intravascular thermistor, but measurement by infrared ear thermometry or with an electronic probe in the rectum is an acceptable alternative.
Example sentencesExamples
- Tympanic thermometry and bladder probes also have been used frequently in research, but further studies are needed to determine their accuracy in patients with hypothermia.
- If chemical dot thermometers are chosen for use in a clinical site, nursing and medical staff must understand the limitations of the device and should receive training on proper thermometry technique.
- Smitz and associates compared rectal thermometry to infrared thermometry in elderly hospitalized patients to determine if there was agreement between the temperatures obtained via these two methods.
- By contrast with infrared thermometry, thermal imaging allows information on the temperatures of all areas in a scene to be obtained simultaneously in one image.

Origin

Mid 17th century: from French thermomètre or modern Latin thermometrum, from thermo- 'of heat' + -metrum 'measure'.

warm from Old English:
Warm is an Old English word but can be traced right back to a root that was also the source of Greek thermos ‘hot’, which gave us thermometer (mid 17th century), thermostat (mid 19th century), and the Thermos flask (early 20th century). Cold hands, warm heart is a proverb first found in the early 20th century.

Rhymes

accelerometer, anemometer, barometer, gasometer, geometer, manometer, micrometer, milometer, olfactometer, optometer, pedometer, photometer, pyrometer, speedometer, swingometer, tachometer
