You test the pH using a specialized tool called a pH meter. The pH meter should be calibrated using a set of pH buffer solutions. Once calibrated, all that is needed to test the pH of wine or must is to insert the probe into the sample and slowly stirRead More →
Measuring Heat With Thermometers Mercury replaced alcohol because it expands and contracts quickly in response to temperature. Today, digital thermometers, which use screens and number displays to communicate temperature, can measure heat in a variety of situations. Medical thermometers can measure body heat. Can you measure thermal energy with aRead More →
The average body temperature is 98.6 F (37 C). But normal body temperature can range between 97 F (36.1 C) and 99 F (37.2 C) or more. How accurate is a forehead temperature? An ear (tympanic) temperature is 0.3°C (0.5°F) to 0.6°C (1°F) higher than an oral temperature. An armpitRead More →
A rectal temperature is 0.3°C (0.5°F) to 0.6°C (1°F) higher than an oral temperature. An ear (tympanic) temperature is 0.3°C (0.5°F) to 0.6°C (1°F) higher than an oral temperature. An armpit (axillary) temperature is usually 0.3°C (0.5°F) to 0.6°C (1°F) lower than an oral temperature. How do you know ifRead More →
Exactly how accurate are Tempa•DOT thermometers? Tempa•DOT thermometers are accurate to ± 0.1° C/± 0.2° F. This is the highest level of accuracy available in a clinical thermometer. How do you read temperature? Temperature is the quantity measured by a thermometer. Temperature is related to the average kinetic energy ofRead More →
Pull the top of the earlobe up and back. Gently insert the tip of the thermometer into the ear canal toward the eardrum. … Once the thermometer is in position, turn it on and wait for it to signal that the reading is complete. Remove the thermometer and read theRead More →
Accuracy stated for forehead temperature measurement was +/- 0.4 degree F, while I was seeing temperatures fluctuate +/- 2 degree F for repeat measurements. … Especially when she’s not well it was a task for us to check the temperature, but with Omron it’s really easy, and the accuracy isRead More →
