Maximum Minimum Thermometer
The Six’s maximum and minimum thermometer records the highest and lowest temperatures reached over a period, on a single dual Celsius and Fahrenheit scale.
- Six’s double scale lets you detect temperature fluctuations and read the max and min later
- U-shaped glass tube with a separate temperature scale along each arm
- Mounted on a moulded ABS plastic frame for durability
- One arm records the maximum temperature, the other the minimum — with easy magnet reset

Maximum Minimum Thermometer – Six’s Thermometer
The Maximum Minimum Thermometer is a temperature-measuring instrument designed to record the highest and lowest temperatures reached over a given period. Supplied by Elmo Agencies, a trusted manufacturer in Ambala, it is suitable for school and college laboratories, weather observations, greenhouses, agriculture, and environmental studies.
Also known as a Six’s thermometer, this instrument uses a U-shaped glass tube and temperature-sensitive liquid to record both temperature extremes. Separate indices indicate the maximum and minimum temperatures reached since the previous reset.
The instrument is useful when it is important to know not only the current temperature but also the temperature range experienced over a period.
As temperature changes, the liquid in the thermometer expands or contracts. This movement positions small indices that remain at the maximum and minimum points reached.
Dual Celsius and Fahrenheit Scale
The thermometer features Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F) scales, allowing temperature readings to be taken in either unit. This makes it useful for educational, environmental, agricultural, and general temperature-monitoring applications.

Liebig Condenser
- The Liebig condenser is used in chemical distillation to cool and condense gas into a liquid.
- It consists of a straight glass tube through which the gas travels, surrounded by a water jacket to help with cooling.
- In a typical laboratory setup, the condenser is clamped to a retort stand in a vertical or oblique orientation.
- The hot vapor of a liquid is introduced at the upper end of the inner tube and condenses as it comes into contact with the colder walls of the condenser.
