Before reading the height of the mercury column in the barometric tube, it is necessary to adjust the mercury level in the cistern so that it coincides with the tip of an ivory reference screw.... The tube [is] enclosed in a brass tube with small windows to observe the mercury level. The tube is fitted with a vernier for readings and carries three engraved scales.

Les échelles de température sont, en quelque sorte, des moyens fiables et universels d'identifier les différences de températures d'un corps ou des facteurs atmosphériques. Les échelles sont constituées d'unités. Trois échelles sont reconnues mondialement, dont le degré Kelvin, le degré Celsius et le degré Fahrenheit. Les échelles de température sont établies selon les propriétés thermométriques suivantes : la variation de volume d'un liquide, la variation de longueur d'un solide, la variation de pression d'un gaz à volume constant, la variation de volume d'un gaz sous pression constante, la variation de résistance électrique d'un conducteur et finalement, la variation de couleur d'un corps très chaud. 2, record 5, French, - %C3%A9chelle%20de%20temp%C3%A9rature
