The difference between a simple thermometer and a clinical thermometer is as follows:

Sn Clinical thermometer Simple thermometer (laboratory thermometer)
1. The thermometer which is used to measure the temperature of the human body is called a clinical thermometer. The thermometer which is used to measure the temperature of substances in the lab is called a laboratory thermometer or a simple thermometer.
2. The temperature range of the clinical thermometer is 35°C to 42°C. The temperature range of the laboratory thermometer (simple thermometer) is -10°C to 110°C
3. The clinical thermometer has a constriction or kink to hold the thermometric liquid. A simple thermometer doesn't have constriction or kink.
  Mercury or alcohol is not used as a thermometric liquid in a clinical thermometer. Mercury is used as the thermometric liquid in a simple thermometer

Things to Remember From Heat

  • Heat is the sum of the molecular kinetic energy of a body.
  • The degree of hotness of a body is called temperature.
  • Heat always flows from a body having a higher temperature to a body having a lower temperature.
  • Heat is a cause whereas temperature is an effect.
  • An instrument that is used to measure the temperature of a body is called a thermometer.
  • In general, two scales are used in thermometer, celsius, and Fahrenheit.
  • The thermometer used to measure the temperature of the human body is called a clinical thermometer.
  • The thermometer used in the laboratory is that liquid expands of heating and contracts on cooling.
  • Conversion relation of degree Celcius and degree Fahrenheit is (C-0)/100 = (F-32)/180
