Key Features of Zeal Mercury Thermometer 360°C:

1. Temperature Range: As the name suggests, the thermometer can measure temperatures up to 360°C. This makes it suitable for various industrial, laboratory, or scientific applications where high-temperature measurements are required.
2. Mercury-Based: This thermometer uses mercury to indicate the temperature. Mercury expands as it heats up, and its movement along the calibrated scale provides an accurate reading of the temperature.
3. Accuracy: Typically, Zeal Mercury Thermometers are known for their high accuracy. These thermometers often feature a finely graduated scale for precise readings.
4. Glass Construction: Zeal’s mercury thermometers usually have a durable glass tube that encases the mercury. The scale may be printed directly on the glass or a paper insert inside the tube.
5. Applications: Mercury thermometers of this range are typically used in:
   • Industrial processes
   • Laboratories
   • Engineering applications where high-temperature measurements are necessary.
6. Scale: The scale on Zeal thermometers can be marked in either Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F), depending on the model.

Safety Considerations:

Since it contains mercury, a toxic substance, the thermometer should be handled with care:

• Breakage: If the thermometer breaks, care should be taken to avoid direct contact with the mercury, and it should be cleaned up using proper safety protocols.
• Disposal: Used or broken mercury thermometers must be disposed of according to local environmental guidelines to avoid contamination.

Alternative Options:

Due to mercury’s toxicity, some users may choose to opt for digital thermometers or alcohol-based thermometers, which can provide similar temperature readings but with safer materials.
