A non-mercury thermometer use anon-toxic alcohol
rather of mercury to
register the temperature. A non-mercury thermometer
contain a
device called a thermoresistor. The thermoresistor has an electrical
current running through it, and the
resistance, or how
freely the
current can
flow, changes with temperature.

The
Nexgen Medical non-mercury thermometers
have made great advancements over the
once many times. The
blue spirit thermometers listed containing-toxic isoamyl benzoate and
color. These
health equipment's can
be stored horizontally; their
separation rate is
equal to or better than mercury thermometers. The
red spirit thermometers that
contain pentane or xylene and
color (-100 ° to 50 °C and – 50 ° to 50 °C) should
be stored vertically to
reduce the
chances of
separation.
Temperature Ranges and Limits
There are non-mercury thermometers with temperature and
delicacy ranges
equal to
utmost mercury thermometers. An
exception is on the
high end of the temperature scale. Until
lately 260 ° C
was the
typical limit fornon-mercury thermometers. A
new Brown-Spirit thermometer has a
maximum range lesser than 300 ° C but the
delicacy limit can
be ± 5 °C at
high temperatures. However, Teflon
carpeted mercury thermometers should
be used, If scientific
procedures can not
be performed with non-mercury thermometers. The Teflon coating will
help to
reduce releases of mercury should a thermometer
be broken.
The non-mercury thermometers are non-toxic and environmentally safe. The broken glass should be placed in a sharps container to prevent injury. The remaining liquid can be cleaned up with soap and water.
