Tools and Hardware Reviews of Timex TX1001 6.5-Inch Tube Thermometer
Customer Review: Decent thermometer; here's how to calibrate it.
Summary: 4 Stars
Considering the really low price, this is a great thermometer for indoor use. However, to read it, you need to get fairly close and look straight on. If you're looking for an inexpensive outdoor thermometer to put right outside a window, then a 6-inch or larger dial thermometer is much better. Inexpensive dial thermometers use a bi-metallic coil, and they are accurate within a couple of degrees F.
As far as accuracy of this liquid thermometer, it may be off by a couple of degrees, but you can calibrate it by just putting the bulb and bottom half of the thermometer in a big bowl of stirred-up ice cubes in water for a few minutes. There is a red line on the thermometer at 32F/0C that is labeled "FREEZE." If the red column is above the line, then you'll just subtract that difference in degrees from any reading when you use the thermometer. If you are below the red FREEZE line, then add the difference to your readings.
It is possible to slide the bulb and tube up or down in the retainers in order to exactly match up the reading and the marked freeze line. However, the retainers hold the tube pretty firmly, so beware that you could break the tube or break off the bulb if you do this.
