This six minute video by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) describes the types of mercury-containing thermometer alternatives that are currently available for use today in laboratory and industrial applications.
This video and the similar ones on the EPA website (www.epa.gov/mercury/nistvideo/index.html) are important adjuncts to the recently announced Calibration Policy change at NIST, NIST will cease offering calibration services for mercury-filled thermometers on March 1, 2011.
