Clinical thermometer

  • The clinical thermometer is used to measure body temperature
  • The temperature range of clinical thermometers is 35°C to 42°C.
  • A clinical Thermometer is meant for clinical purpose.
  • It is developed for measuring the human body temperature.

laboratory thermometer

  • laboratory thermometer is not used for the purpose of measuring body temperature.
  • Laboratory thermometer temperature range: -10°C to 110°C.
  • A laboratory thermometer, which is colloquially known as the lab thermometer, is used for measuring temperatures other than the human body temperature.
  • A laboratory thermometer is not used for this purpose of measuring body temperature; it is generally used for the measurement of objects which generally have a temperature range outside that of a normal human body.

  • The temperature range of clinical thermometers is 35°C to 42°C and that of laboratory thermometers is -10°C to 110°C. The least count of both the thermometers is different
  • A laboratory thermometer, which is colloquially known as the lab thermometer, is used for measuring temperatures other than the human body temperature.
  • Generally, laboratory thermometer has temperature range from − 10°C to 110°C where as clinical thermometer has temperature range from 35°C to 42°C. Usually laboratory thermometer does not have any constriction where as clinical thermometer has the small constriction near the mercury bulb.
