Thermometer room: types, classification, general recommendations for use

In modern times, such a thing as a thermometer seems to be something ordinary and simple. But a little more than 3 centuries ago, the great inventor of the time, Galileo, invented and built the first and simplest thermometer. It is clear that since that time it has significantly changed and transformed, has become more refined and accurate.

Now it is in every house, room, on the street, it's built into technology and does not cause anybody's surprise. But few people know all of its varieties and features.

Description of the device

The room thermometer is intended for measuring the temperature in rooms of any type. It can be used in living rooms, kindergartens and schools, office premises, warehouses and various industries.

Depending on the room in which the temperature is measured , the graduated scale may have different readings:

• From 0 ˚С to +50 ˚С.
• From -10 ˚С to +50 ˚С.
• From -20 ˚С to +50 ˚С.

All of them have a division price of 1 ° C, and depending on the temperature parameters are intended for warm or non-heated rooms.

This is the most common device for use. It is the room thermometer that has the largest range both in temperature range and in external design.

Variety of appearance

This kind of devices perform:

• In the case of plastic, this is the most common form. The plastic can be white, black and many other colors. Thanks to which it can be selected according to the interior.
• In the wooden case. It is made of natural wood, painted with varnishes and built in a measuring scale, applying temperature markings to the wooden base.
• In a case based on cardboard. To do this, press compact cardboard with different patterns is applied. This kind of thermometer is of a souvenir character and has a significant minus in use. This type of thermometer is afraid of high humidity.
• In a metal frame.
• In the glass.
• There are thermometers built into the gypsum body.

Types of thermometers

Since the creation of the first thermometer, it has been significantly transformed and modernized. And if the first room thermometer was a usual device for measuring temperature and consisted of a body and an alcohol scale, then its followers became more elaborate.

Since then, a more advanced room thermometer has appeared - the electronic version of its predecessor. Powered by batteries and outputting temperature to a special built-in display. In addition to temperature parameters, the room thermometer electronic can show the relative humidity of the air in the room, and also serve as a clock and even an alarm clock. It all depends on the model.

Another kind is a street-room thermometer . It is designed to measure temperature conditions both indoors and outdoors. He, like the previous representative, is electronic, with a built-in display. The screen usually shows the air temperature in the room and outdoors, the humidity of the air is also indoor and outdoor and time of day. Works on one or more batteries.

The device that is able to analyze and show the relative humidity of air, has another name - a thermometer with a room hygrometer. It is an alternative to the psychrometric hygrometer, which is used in various industries to determine the temperature and humidity of air in rooms and storage chambers.

General recommendations for use

After purchase in the store it is important to determine the place where the indoor thermometer is positioned so that it correctly shows the temperature and humidity in the room optimally.

It is important to keep it away from direct sunlight, heat sources, heating elements and moisture sources.

If you decide to hang the thermometer on the wall, then it should be interroom, the walls that come into contact with the street, can affect the reading of the device.

Electronic devices can be installed on tables or other furniture, taking into account the sunlight.

If the thermometer is only installed, then the reading can be estimated after 20 minutes.

They do not require any additional maintenance, the only condition for electronic representatives - periodically it is necessary to change the batteries.
