Thermometer \Ther*mom"e*ter\, n. [Thermo- + -meter: cf. F.       thermom[8a]tre. See {Thermal}.] (Physics)       An instrument for measuring temperature, founded on the       principle that changes of temperature in bodies are       accompained by proportional changes in their volumes or       dimensions.          Note: The thermometer usually consists of a glass tube of                capillary bore, terminating in a bulb, and containing                mercury or alcohol, which expanding or contracting                according to the temperature to which it is exposed,                indicates the degree of heat or cold by the amount of                space occupied, as shown by the position of the top of                the liquid column on a graduated scale. See                {Centigrade}, {Fahrenheit}, and {R[82]aumur}. To reduce                degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Centigrade, substract                32[f8] and multiply by [frac59]; to reduce degrees                Centigrade to degrees Fahrenheit, multiply by [frac95]                and add 32[f8].          {Air thermometer}, {Balance thermometer}, etc. See under             {Air}, {Balance}, etc.          {Metallic thermometer}, a form of thermometer indicating             changes of temperature by the expansion or contraction of             rods or strips of metal.          {Register thermometer}, [or] {Self-registering thermometer},             a thermometer that registers the maximum and minimum of             temperature occurring in the interval of time between two             consecutive settings of the instrument. A common form             contains a bit of steel wire to be pushed before the             column and left at the point of maximum temperature, or a             slide of enamel, which is drawn back by the liquid, and             left within it at the point of minimum temperature.
