What is a Thermometer?
Oxford Languages definition:
ther·mom·e·ter /THərˈmämədər/
noun
an instrument for measuring and indicating temperature, typically one consisting of a narrow, hermetically sealed glass tube marked with graduations and having at one end a bulb containing mercury or alcohol that expands and contracts in the tube with heating and cooling.
Our capillary thermometers, also known as tube thermometers, are simple devices that consist of a long, thin glass tube with a bulb on the bottom that contains a mercury-free liquid (often dyed red or blue); as the temperature changes, the liquid expands or contracts, causing the level in the tube to rise or fall. The temperature is read by observing the level of the liquid against a scale marked on the thermometer. Created in weather-resistant materials, our thermometers provide a practical design for all users.
Our dial thermometers feature two types of metal strips, referred to as bi-metallic. The two metals will react to the change in temperature at different rates, so as the temperature changes they will expand and contract, creating movement. This motion is then transmitted to the needle or pointer making it move across the face of the dial, in turn giving us a temperature reading. Available in a variety of styles and mounting options, they are a perfect addtion to your living space.
What is a Rain Gauge?
Oxford Languages definition:
rain gauge /ˈrān ˌɡāj/
noun
a device for collecting and measuring the amount of rain which falls.
NOTE: An inch of rain is exactly that, water that is one inch deep. Per the USGS Rainfall Calculator, one inch of rainfall equals 6 gallons of water per square yard or 27,154 gallons of water per acre!
Add a designers touch to your lawn or garden with our collection of decorative rain gauges. Featuring a variety of materials, our metal gauges are handcrafted and handpainted in Columbia and include a universal glass tube for your convenience. The perfect match of form meeting function.
Analog rain gauges use a series of markings on a tube or receptical to indicate rain fall. These markings are scientifically calculated and spaced according to the gauges opening and surface area. With a vairety of styles to choose from we know you'll find the perfect addition for your outdoor living space.

Our capillary thermometers, also known as a tube thermometer, use a mercury-free contained liquid to indicate temperature. When the temperature rises the liquid expands and moves up the tube - providing the current temperature.
Our dial thermometers feature a bi-metal coil spring, the expansion and contraction of this coil spring is how temperature is measured. We offer a vairety of styles and mounting options, the perfect addtion to your indoor and outdoor living space.
