Gallium indium tin thermometer principle and the principle of the mercury thermometer is similar , the use of special materials to measure the temperature of the heat expansion and cold work. The gallium indium tin thermometer is non-toxic and harmless, even if broken, the metal liquid in the gallium indium tin thermometer will immediately solidify and will not produce harmful substances. Gallium indium tin thermometer was born a long time ago, is in 1993, a German company invented.
