Minimum Maximum Thermometer
Product Code : JA-CE-4338
The Minimum Maximum Thermometer (SKU JA-CE-4338) records the highest and the lowest temperature reached since it was last reset, so a single reading shows the day's extremes. It is a U-shaped mercury-in-glass design with alcohol or oil-filled bulbs and reads from -20 to +50°C. This min max thermometer is used for weather observation in schools, for monitoring store rooms and greenhouses, and in science lessons on thermal expansion. JaincoLab supplies it with a magnet-reset index.
Specifications
The thermometer is a U-shaped parallel glass tube with mercury in the bend and a bulb of alcohol or oil at the top of each limb; expansion of the fluid drives the mercury along the minimum and maximum scales, which read from -20 to +50°C, and a celluloid graduated scale with magnet index holds each reading.

Uses of the minimum maximum thermometer
The thermometer is read once a day and then reset: the two indices show the lowest and highest temperatures since the last reset, which makes it a simple way to record daily temperature range for weather studies, storage monitoring and plant-growth experiments.
- Daily maximum and minimum temperature readings in school weather stations
- Monitoring temperature extremes in store rooms, greenhouses and animal houses
- Geography and environmental science field records
- Demonstrating thermal expansion of liquids in physics lessons

Frequently asked questions
What temperature range does the thermometer cover?
It reads from -20 to +50°C.
How are the readings reset?
The indices are reset with the magnet after each reading so the next period starts fresh.
Does the thermometer contain mercury?
Yes, it is a mercury-in-glass design with alcohol or oil in the bulbs, so import and disposal rules for mercury apply.
