Digital thermometers provide quick and accurate temperature readings, are easy to read with a digital display, and can store previous readings for tracking changes over time. Additionally, they are versatile in their application and can be used for various temperature measurement needs.
Refrigerators typically use a bimetallic coil thermometer or a digital thermometer to monitor and display the temperature inside the unit. These thermometers are designed to withstand the cold temperatures found in refrigerators and provide an accurate reading of the internal temperature.

Usually, max 212 F and min 32 F It depends on for what the thermometer will be used. My greenhouse min/max thermometer has a min of -40°F and a max of 120°F A (non-digital) clinical thermometer has a min of 94°F and a max of 108°F A cook's (sugar/jam) thermometer has a min of 100°F and a max of 400°F
The three main types of thermometers are liquid-filled thermometers (mercury or alcohol), digital thermometers, and infrared thermometers. Each type measures temperature differently but all provide accurate readings.
The first digital thermometer was invented in 1964 by Arthur Pollack at the National Physical Laboratory in the United Kingdom. It was a significant advancement over traditional mercury thermometers due to its accuracy and ease of use.
