Conant Thermometers
Temperature and humidity are the two most basic of weather variables and all of us are interested in what they are right now. Our Conant Thermometers display the temperature from either a dial or tube. A dial thermometer uses a bimetallic spring-like coil that is sensitive to heat. One end of the coil is attached to a pointer and as temperature increases, the metal expands and that rotates a pointer higher around a fixed dial. As temperature decreases, the metal contracts and the pointer moves lower. A tube thermometer usues a liquid (typically alcohol) encapsulated within a glass tube that expands as temperature increases and contracts when temperature decreases, rising and falling with the temperature. The tiny size of the bulb and micro-fine size of the tube help the liquid reach the temperature it is measuring quickly.
Our Conant thermometers are designed for beauty as well as accuracy. They are made from superior quality materials able to withstand the elements while delivering fashionable decoration for the home, garden, patio or pool. Some dial models feature humidity.
