Digital Thermometer in Andhra Pradesh
A Digital Thermometer is an electronic device used to measure body temperature or the temperature of substances with high accuracy and quick response. Unlike traditional mercury thermometers, digital thermometers use electronic sensors (thermistors or resistance temperature detectors) to detect temperature changes and display the reading on an LCD screen. They are commonly used in healthcare, laboratories, food industries, and households for safe and precise temperature monitoring.
Characteristics of a Digital Thermometer: -
- Electronic sensing technology – provides accurate readings without mercury.
- Clear digital display – readings appear instantly on an LCD screen.
- Fast response time – delivers results within seconds.
