First of all, to tell you exactly The accuracy of the electronic thermometer is absolutely not as high as the mercury thermometer This is 100%!
This depends mainly on the electronic thermometer manufacturers to use the accuracy of the thermal sensor, the quality of domestic brands vary, the same batch of products will be very accurate, some may not be allowed at all, huh This you know. Relatively speaking, the stability of foreign brands is slightly better deviation will not be too large within the acceptable range, but it is not completely reliable.
The second point, the advantages of the electronic thermometer is still very obvious, fast temperature measurement, safe and non-toxic, the family has a child or we recommend that you use the electronic.
For your current use, I would like to give you two suggestions:
First, find a dealer to change a better one, the deviation is about 0.5 degrees better than this one, don't ask for too much.
Second, no matter what you do or don't do, you can take a mercury thermometer as a measurement marker to see how much your electronic thermometer differs from it, and measure it several times more, and note that you must be careful when measuring, and repeat the same position 5-6 times, which is only about 2 minutes, and then take the average of the results of each measurement to calculate the error, and then use the electronic thermometer later to add this value to the results of the measurement. Then when you use the electronics later, you can artificially add this value to the measurement result, which can still ensure the accurate use.
Finally, it's time for the new year, so I wish you all a happy new year, good health, and good luck in 2012. Oh (remember to add points oh)
