Laboratory Thermometer-Uses, the Temperature Scale, and Where to Get Them!

I think what makes a laboratory thermometer so unique is that it has to be used for a very large number of different things. From high school science labs to industry or government research labs, there are a lot of things that these types of thermometers have to accurately display the temperature of.

Also known as a clinical thermometer, one of the most popular uses of laboratory thermometers is in the high school chemistry or biology lab. Think of how many high school students are in the U.S. Several million, in fact, it's closer to tens of millions. Most of those students will have to go through these science courses at one time or another. Chances are they will use a temperature in the lab portion of that class.

For example, take chemistry. You are constantly heating up chemicals in a chemistry class, but without a thermometer you wouldn't know when it's ready. Because chemical reactions are very tricky and can be dangerous, you want to make sure you have an accurate thermometer to help you know the environment.

Another popular use is in research. Research is done by the government and thousands of different companies, so there is also a very large need for accurate thermometers here. There are always chemicals being mixed, needing a lab room to be a certain temperature, and other reasons that you will need to know the current temperature. And because there are generally much more dangerous experiments and points of research going on here than in high schools or colleges, the need for accuracy is even more important.

Did you know that the temperature scale used on most laboratory thermometers is Kelvins? You probably remember from your chemistry class, but Kelvin is the scientific temperature scale that is used by most of the world. Although Celsius is used at times, for the most part professional scientists and teachers prefer the Kelvin scale.

There are a few reasons for this. For one thing, it eliminates the need to convert if you are on a multi-national project. Most countries use Kelvins, so it makes sense that the U.S. should as well. Another thing is that absolute zero is zero degrees Kelvin. This is very easy to remember! It's much easier than remembering the temperature of Celsius or Fahrenheit for that same important temperature.

If you are in the market for laboratory thermometers, I'm guessing you are ordering in bulk, right? Well it is generally pretty difficult to walk into a CVS or another store and buy a large number of laboratory thermometers. In fact, I can almost guarantee that it won't happen!

Instead, I recommend checking out some websites online. Within about 5 to 10 minutes I'm guessing you can find some great reviews and prices on the best models and types. This is especially true if you are just looking for a small number of these thermometers. If that is the case, I recommend Amazon.com. You'll find some good prices on laboratory thermometers there, and it's nice to see the reviews for each type as well.
