  2. Galileo thermometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo_thermometer

    A Celsius Galilean thermometer in two degree gradations. A risen orange orb denotes 24 °C. A Galileo thermometer (or Galilean thermometer) is a thermometer made of a sealed glass cylinder containing a clear liquid and several glass vessels of varying density. The individual floats rise or fall in proportion to their respective density and the ...

  3. Meteorological instrumentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteorological_instrumentation

    In 1607, Galileo Galilei constructs a thermoscope. In 1643, Evangelista Torricelli invents the mercury barometer. [1] In 1662, Sir Christopher Wren invented the mechanical, self-emptying, tipping bucket rain gauge. In 1714, Gabriel Fahrenheit creates a reliable scale for measuring temperature with a mercury-type thermometer. [2]

  5. Thermometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermometer

    A thermometer has two important elements: (1) a temperature sensor (e.g. the bulb of a mercury-in-glass thermometer or the pyrometric sensor in an infrared thermometer) in which some change occurs with a change in temperature; and (2) some means of converting this change into a numerical value (e.g. the visible scale that is marked on a mercury ...

  6. Float switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Float_switch

    A pedestal sump pump with a float switch. A float switch is a type of level sensor, a device used to detect the level of liquid within a tank. The switch may be used to control a pump, as an indicator, an alarm, or to control other devices. One type of float switch uses a mercury switch inside a hinged float.

  7. Four-terminal sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-terminal_sensing

    Four-point measurement of resistance between voltage sense connections 2 and 3. Current is supplied via force connections 1 and 4. In electrical engineering, four-terminal sensing (4T sensing), 4-wire sensing, or 4-point probes method is an electrical impedance measuring technique that uses separate pairs of current-carrying and voltage-sensing electrodes to make more accurate measurements ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Galileo_thermometer

    The Galileo Thermometer actually measures pressure in the first instance, the pressure being caused by the change in ambient temperature. The AIR in the top of the sealed container is heated by the outside temperature and it expands, applying pressure to the surface of the liquid, which is incompressible.

  9. Pirani gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirani_gauge

    The Pirani gauge consists of a metal sensor wire (usually gold plated tungsten or platinum) suspended in a tube which is connected to the system whose vacuum is to be measured. The wire is usually coiled to make the gauge more compact. The connection is usually made either by a ground glass joint or a flanged metal connector, sealed with an o ...
