What is the typical temperature range for thermometers used in HVACR work?
-20°F to 120°F (-30°C to 50°C)
-40°F to 160°F (-40°C to 70°C)
0°F to 100°F (-18°C to 38°C)
-10°F to 150°F (-23°C to 65°C)
Why should a thermometer not be exposed to temperatures beyond its scale?
It will give inaccurate readings.
It may cause the fluid to expand and break the thermometer.
It will change the color of the thermometer.
It will make the thermometer heavier.
