Maximum Minimum Thermometer

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.

Key Features

How to Read It

Read the two indices against their respective scales. One indicates the maximum temperature, while the other indicates the minimum temperature recorded since the last reset.

After recording the values, use the supplied magnetic reset mechanism to return the indices to the current temperature position and begin a new observation period.
