Working Principle Mercury inside the sealed glass capillary expands as temperature increases and contracts as temperature decreases. During measurement, the mercury column rises to a position corresponding to the animal's body temperature.

The temperature is read directly from the graduated scale. Before subsequent use, the mercury column must be returned below the expected measuring range according to the normal operating procedure for a clinical glass thermometer.
